gs.getUser().getLanguage() not working in scoped app script

[RFJ1]

Hi,

I am trying to get the current logged in users language using a server side script in a widget (scoped) . Using the   'gs.getUser().getLanguage() '   function. This is the code where I have used this function,

 var timeZones = new GlideRecord('sys_choice');
timeZones.addEncodedQuery('name=sys_user^element=time_zone^inactive=false^value!=NULL_OVERRIDE^ORvalue=NULL^language=' + gs.getUser().getLanguage());

But I get the following error,

Is there any way to solve this issue?? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

getLanguage() won't work in scoped app

query sys_user table with gs.getUserID() and get the language from there

Hi,

Please use the below code to get the language set by the User in the scoped app:

gs.info(gs.getSession().getLanguage());

Thanks,

Hi,

another way

1) create script include in global scope and accessible from All Application scopes

2) in that add that script

3) then call that script include from your widget

var MyUtils = Class.create();
MyUtils.prototype = {
	initialize: function() {
	},

	getUserLanguage: function() {
		var userLanguage = this._getLanguage();
		return userLanguage;
	},
	_getLanguage: function() {
		return gs.getSession().getLanguage();
	},

	type: 'MyUtils'
};

Widget script to call it

var lan = new global.MyUtils().getUserLanguage();

OR

if you are ok with language from session then use this; it works from global + scoped app

gs.info(gs.getSession().getLanguage());
