SDL_HINT_PREFERRED_LOCALES(3)

SDL_HINT_PREFERRED_LOCALES3

Override for sdl_getpreferredlocales ().

Usage

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

#define SDL_HINT_PREFERRED_LOCALES SDL_PREFERRED_LOCALES"

Header file

Defined in SDL3/SDL_hints.h

Overview

If set, this will be favored over anything the OS might report for the user's preferred locales. Changing this hint at runtime will not generate a

SDL_EVENT_LOCALE_CHANGED
event (but if you can change the hint, you can push your own event, if you want).

The format of this hint is a comma-separated list of language and locale, combined with an underscore, as is a common format: "en_GB". Locale is optional: "en". So you might have a list like this: "en_GB,jp,es_PT"

This hint can be set anytime.

Availability

This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.

From libsdl3-doc 3.2.10+ds-1 in Debian 13 (Trixie). Parsed by carta from the page's man source.
