Is it possible to get the local player’s country and not the country code? Please let me know!

Yes it’s possible. And please do not ask that if you haven’t search.

Just a quick search, and I find that.

I’ve tried many scripts on the forum, None of them work. The scripts don’t error or something, they just don’t work. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong.

local localizationService = game:GetService('LocalizationService')
local players = game:GetService('Players')
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	print(localizationService:GetCountryRegionForPlayerAsync(player))
end)

This will print the region of every player who joins the game.

Thank you, but this isn’t exactly what I wanted. I wanted a script that would print the player’s country. For example: CA → Canada

You can write a table with a list of keys that have the abbreviation and the values of the full name of the country.

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")

local link = HttpService:GetAsync("http://ip-api.com/json/")
local list = HttpService:JSONDecode(link)
local country = list.country

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
	print(country)
end)

Thank you, but it seems like it’s not printing the player’s country. I’ve also enabled HTTP requests.

This code seems broken

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")

local link = HttpService:GetAsync("http://ip-api.com/json/")
local list = HttpService:JSONDecode(link)
local country = list.country

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
	print(country)
end)
]]

--[[ 
it could take a long time to create a table but you need to go to 
https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/LocalizationService#GetCountryRegionForPlayerAsync
to get the table

return game:GetService('HttpService'):JSONDecode(json)

You can paste that into a module and require from it.

Then you can do something like this:

local countryCodes = require(game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage'):WaitForChild('ModuleScript'))

local localizationService = game:GetService('LocalizationService')
local players = game:GetService('Players')
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	print(countryCodes[localizationService:GetCountryRegionForPlayerAsync(player)])
end)

Just note that NG and NE were removed as the forum didn’t like their country names. The full list can be found here.
