Hi, Firstly, I like to say thanks to the great work that is going on in Thunkable. As a newbie, I have done an Android App using Thunkable Android classic and it has been an enjoyable experience. Now I need to do the same App in IOS. I am also thinking of doing it in Thunkable X now that it seems to be out of beta. However, I hit a stumbling block - I need to find out the native language of the phone that is running my App so that I can select the right language to display. Is it possible to do that in Thunkable X? If not, anyone can point to the right direction on how to achieve that? Any help much appreciated. Thanks! ---
