Demo code for c4d.GeGetLanguage in Documentation

A Former User

Hello,
I was trying to find a way to determine the default language of Cinema 4D. In the documentation for c4d.GeGetLanguage, there is some example code, but it looks incomplete:

lang = GeGetLanguage(index)
if lang==None: return

index+=1
# str, str, bool
print(lang["extensions"], lang["name"], lang["default_language"])

The code mentions iterating until the function returns None, but I think it would be much clearer with something like this:

def get_default_language():
    index=0
    while True:
        lang = c4d.GeGetLanguage(index)
        if lang==None: return
        if lang["default_language"]:
            # str, str, bool
            print(lang["extensions"], lang["name"], lang["default_language"])
        index+=1

Thanks.

Hello @blastframe,
