Good day everyone!

I created VS Code extension and there is need for a current display language of VS Code UI for a WebView panel localization. I haven't found any straight API to access this info.

However I found a solution that is written below. But I want to keep localization data for WebView relatively to it, not keep it at the root of extension, because I build separate app for WebView. For that I'd be nice to use VS Code API to pass info about current display language.

Any thoughts will be appreciated!

I have found a workaround in a way to use a localization vscode.l10n.bundle or vscode.l10n.uri, extract from it a needed information about current display language and even pass a ready-to-use localization vscode.l10n.bundle to WebView by webview.postMessage method.
