    byungheesohn, the times you mentioned: around 380ms for Web Teams in Chrome and 130ms for Desktop Teams, are within a reasonable range, but there are ways to optimize and potentially reduce this delay. Using URL placeholders can be a more efficient way to access context information without the delay associated with app.getContext.

    By using URL placeholders, you can directly embed the locale information in your URLs, which can help reduce the delay.

    const url = `https://your-app-url.com?locale={app.locale}`;

Dear Sir 

Thank you so much for your help.

I can get the Teams locale without any delay. 

Actually I didn't have any understanding about URL placehoder.

After googling about URL placehoder, I updated my manifest.json about contentUrl below.     "contentUrl": "https://my_url.com/index.html?locale={app.locale}",

 

And in my source code, I added the followings.

     const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
     const myLang = urlParams.get('locale');
It works very well.
Many thanks 
BH

    Dear Sir
    I have one additional question, which is about "window.navigator".
    I found that "language" from window.navigator has the same locale with that (app.locale) of url placehoder when I use desktop native Teams app.


    However, when I use web Teams, the result shows below

    •         window.navigator : browser locale
    •         app.locale : teams locale

    Is it true?
    Many thanks
    BH

      byungheesohn  Yes, you can use window.navigator.language to obtain the default locale for your Microsoft Teams app.
