var lang = blackberry.system.language;

blackberry.event.addEventListener("languagechanged", displayLanguage);
blackberry.event.addEventListener("regionchanged", displayLanguage);

var template_source = "<div class=\"{{align}}\"><h1 id=\"activeLanguage\">{{language}}</h1><h2 id=\"pagetitle\">{{page_title}}</h2><h3 id=\"subtitle\">{{sub_title}}}</h3></div>";
var template = Handlebars.compile(template_source);

var lang = blackberry.system.language;
var translated_text = languages[(lang).substring(0,2)];

document.getElementById("container").innerHTML = template(translated_text);

1. Open index.html
2. see How To Build for instructions

In order to read the system language, you must whitelist the necessary WebWorks API feature(s):

<feature id="blackberry.system" required="true" version="1.0.0.0"/>

The home screen application name can be localized by defining each variant as its own name element:

<name>Localization Example</name>
<name xml:lang="ca">Exemple de localisation</name>
<name xml:lang="fr_FR">Exemple de localisation</name>
<name xml:lang="de_DE">Localization Probe</name>

The home screen icon can be localized by creating copies of the icon name within corresponding locales/ folders (e.g. locales/it or locales/en_CA)

<icon src="icon.png"/>

1. Clone the repo to your local machine
2. Use Using the Ripple Mobile Emulator and the BlackBerry 10 WebWorks SDK, package the contents of your local BB10-WebWorks-Samples/Localization folder into a BlackBerry application.
