Window: languagechange event

The languagechange event is fired at the global scope object when the user's preferred language changes.

Examples

You can use the languagechange event in an addEventListener method:

window.addEventListener('languagechange', function() {
  console.log('languagechange event detected!');
});

Or use the onlanguagechange event handler property:

window.onlanguagechange = function(event) {
  console.log('languagechange event detected!');
};
