How to target on browser Language using Expression Targets?

[xbarcelona]

Hi there

I want to target base on browser language (ex. German) but are not sure how to create a correct Expression-Target for this?

Not sure if user.header or user.browser should be used and how the correct syntax should look like? Then there is also user.header('accept-language') and user.header('accept') which both seem to fit somehow?

I created these 3 Expression Targets but am not sure about which one is correct?

1.return user.header('accept-language')=="de";

2.return (user.header.indexOf('de') != -1);

3. return (user.browser.indexOf('de') != -1);

thanks for your help.

Hi Nicolas,

Thank you for reaching out to Adobe Community.

I would request you to kindly try and use the below code and see if it helps:

return user.header('accept-language').indexOf('de') > -1

Thanks!

Do you know when this list of languages will be increased as it is incredibly restricted.

Hello,

I am trying to do something similar, but with language and locale.

What exactly does the user.header('accept-language') get?  usually the accept language has locale and factor weighting included.  Accept-Language - HTTP | MDN

for example if i wanted to create a profile script differentiating england from united states for english, i would need to parse the language and locale.   would the user.header("accept-language") give me "en-gb" or "en-us"?

Does using console.log work for debugging these scripts?  It is difficult to use the built in target parameters without know exactly what it provides.

any help would be much appreciated!
