Locale preference - Amazon GameLift Streams

Locale preference

In Amazon GameLift Streams, you can set the locale preference per stream. This is useful if your application retrieves location-specific information from the end user's operating system, such as time or currency.

Amazon GameLift Streams supports the following languages:

Value Description

en_US

U.S. English (default)

ja_jp.UTF-8

Japanese

To change the locale setting

When you call StartStreamSession using the Amazon GameLift Streams API, add LANG=<language> to your AdditionalEnvironmentVariables. Since locale preference is unique per user, you set this at the stream-session level. If you don't set this, the stream uses U.S. English by default.

Example
aws gameliftstreams start-stream-session \
   --identifier arn:aws:gameliftstreams:us-west-2:123456789012:streamgroup/1AB2C3De4 \
   --protocol WebRTC \
   --signal-request "[webrtc-ice-offer json string]" \
   --user-id xnshijwh \            
   --additional-environment-variables '{"LANG": "ja_JP.UTF-8"}'
