Hello.
Excuse my bad English.
I want to know. How can I determine which language is used on the Android device.

You will need to create an Extern to expose one of the following Android commands:

Locale.getDefault().getLanguage()       // ---> en      
Locale.getDefault().getISO3Language()   // ---> eng 
Locale.getDefault().getCountry()        // ---> US 
Locale.getDefault().getISO3Country()    // ---> USA 
Locale.getDefault().getDisplayCountry() // ---> United States 
Locale.getDefault().getDisplayName()    // ---> English (United States) 
Locale.getDefault().toString()          // ---> en_US
Locale.getDefault().getDisplayLanguage()// ---> English

So create a Monkey file:

Import "native/MyExtern.java"

Extern
	Function GetDisplayLanguage:String()="MyExtern.getDisplayLanguage"

And create the extern Java file:

Import java.util.Locale;

class MyExtern
{
	static String getDisplayLanguage()
	{
		return Locale.getDefault().getDisplayLanguage();
	}
}
