69 * Returned language strings are in the format xx, where 'xx' is an ISO-639
70 * language specifier (such as "en" for English, "de" for German, etc).
71 * Country strings are in the format YY, where "YY" is an ISO-3166 country
72 * code (such as "US" for the United States, "CA" for Canada, etc). Country
73 * might be NULL if there's no specific guidance on them (so you might get {
74 * "en", "US" } for American English, but { "en", NULL } means "English
75 * language, generically"). Language strings are never NULL, except to
76 * terminate the array.
77 *
78 * Please note that not all of these strings are 2 characters; some are three
79 * or more.
80 *
81 * The returned list of locales are in the order of the user's preference. For
82 * example, a German citizen that is fluent in US English and knows enough
83 * Japanese to navigate around Tokyo might have a list like: { "de", "en_US",
84 * "jp", NULL }. Someone from England might prefer British English (where
85 * "color" is spelled "colour", etc), but will settle for anything like it: {
86 * "en_GB", "en", NULL }.
87 *
88 * This function returns NULL on error, including when the platform does not
89 * supply this information at all.
90 *
91 * This might be a "slow" call that has to query the operating system. It's
92 * best to ask for this once and save the results. However, this list can
93 * change, usually because the user has changed a system preference outside of
94 * your program; SDL will send an SDL_EVENT_LOCALE_CHANGED event in this case,
95 * if possible, and you can call this function again to get an updated copy of
96 * preferred locales.
97 *
98 * \param count a pointer filled in with the number of locales returned, may
99 * be NULL.
100 * \returns a NULL terminated array of locale pointers, or NULL on failure;
101 * call SDL_GetError() for more information. This is a single
102 * allocation that should be freed with SDL_free() when it is no
103 * longer needed.
