locale = GetLocale();
Description
The locale is what makes it possible to know what language the interface is using and thus determine which specific code is going to be executed in a localized addon.
Typically, this is used in a GetLocale block:
Example
if (GetLocale() == "frFR") then
-- things for the french client
else
-- for the rest, usually english since it's the default language
end
