devicelocale
Gets the device locale data, independent of the app locale settings.
Usage
import 'package:devicelocale/devicelocale.dart';then
List languages = await Devicelocale.preferredLanguages;
String locale = await Devicelocale.currentLocale;this should return a list of the preferred/current language locales setup on the device, with the current one being the first in the list or just the currently set device locale.
Note for Linux
Since GNU/Linux and POSIX doesn't provide a standard API for getting the preferred languages, Devicelocale.preferredLanguages always returns the current locale.
