Question

While sending request to bot through web Skype, it is sending locale as 'en-US'. How I can change it to any other language? How Skype decide automatically to send it to 'en-US'?

'entities': [{'locale': 'en-US', 'country': 'US', 'platform': 'Web', 'type': 'clientInfo'}]

Answer 1

Possible answer

I don't have access to the Bot Connector sources so it will be difficult to ensure that my answer is valid, but I think your language value comes from one of the following properties:

• Language of your Skype profile
• Language of the installed Skype app you are using
• Language of the operating system where you use Skype

Why I am assuming it is one of those values?

You can have a look how it is made on other channels, in particular if you have a look to the open-source Webchat channel, you will see the following here :

locale: props.locale || (window.navigator as any)["userLanguage"] || window.navigator.language || 'en'

So in the Webchat, it is using (in order of priority):

• the locale set in webchat properties (coming from the queryString for example)
• the "userLanguage" of the navigator if any
• the navigator language if any
• en as default value
