Hi,
i want to get the interface language of c4d use python.
Thanks for any help

HerrMay

to get a specific installed language via python you can use c4d.GeGetLanguage(index).

When you want to retrieve all installed langauges you must iterate them yourself.

See the code example below. Meant to be executed from the script manager.

Cheers,

from typing import Optional, Generator
import c4d

doc: c4d.documents.BaseDocument  # The active document
op: Optional[c4d.BaseObject]  # The active object, None if unselected


def iter_language(start: int=0) -> Generator[dict, None, None]:
    """Yield all installed languages.
    
    Paramameters 
    ------------
    start
        int: The index to start with
        
    Returns
    -------
        Generator[dict]
        
    Example
    -------
        >>> for language in iter_language():
                print(language)
                
        {'extensions': 'en-US', 'name': 'English', 'default_language': True}
    """

    while True:
        
        lang = c4d.GeGetLanguage(start)
        
        if lang is None:
            break

        yield lang
        start += 1


def main() -> None:
    # Called when the plugin is selected by the user. Similar to CommandData.Execute.
    
    for language in iter_language():
        print(language)

"""
def state():
    # Defines the state of the command in a menu. Similar to CommandData.GetState.
    return c4d.CMD_ENABLED
"""

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
