const languageAndTerritory = Locale.fromDevice;
// Log the locale string to the Console
Diagnostics.log('My location and territory are ' + languageAndTerritory);
// Create an array by splitting the locale string, this array will have two
// values, the language [0] and the territory [1]
const localeAsArray = languageAndTerritory.split('_');
// Store the first element in the array (the language)
const language = localeAsArray[0];
// Use a switch statement to say hello in the Console in the correct language
