### Locale information
74
+
75
+
The facade offers several methods for accessing some of the system's localisation information.
76
+
This data can be helpful for localising your application, e.g. if you want to suggest the corresponding language to the user on first launch.
77
+
78
+
```php
79
+
App::getLocale(); // e.g. "de", "fr-FR"
80
+
App::getLocaleCountryCode(); // e.g. "US", "DE"
81
+
App::getSystemLocale(); // e.g. "it-IT", "de-DE"
82
+
```
83
+
84
+
The `getLocale` method will return the locale used by the app.
85
+
Dependening on the user's settings, this might include both the language and the country / region or the language only.
86
+
It is based on Chromiums `l10n_util` library; see [this page](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:ui/base/l10n/l10n_util.cc) to see possible values.
87
+
88
+
`getLocaleCountryCode` returns the user's system country code (using the [ISO 3166 code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2)).
89
+
This information is pulled from native OS APIs. If it is not possible to detect this information, an empty string will be returned.
90
+
91
+
With `getSystemLocale` you can access the system-wide locale setting. This is the locale set at the operating system level, not necessarily what the app is using.
92
+
Under Windows and Linux, Chromium's `i18n` library is used to evaluate this information. macOS will use `[NSLocale currentLocale]`.

#### Preventing new windows from popping up
420
+
421
+
By default, Electron allows additional windows to be opened from a window that was previously opened programmatically.
422
+
This is the case, for example, with `a` elements that have the target attribute set to `_blank` or when the user clicks on a link with the middle mouse button.
423
+
This behaviour is potentially undesirable in a desktop application, as it enables the user to "break out" of a window.
424
+
425
+
To prevent additional windows from opening, you can apply the `suppressNewWindows()` method when opening a new window.
426
+
427
+
```php
428
+
Window::open()
429
+
->suppressNewWindows();
430
+
```
431
+
432
+
### Zoom factor
433
+
434
+
In certain cases, you may want to set a zoom factor for a window.
435
+
This can be particularly helpful in cases where you have no control over the content displayed (e.g. when showing external websites).
436
+
You may use the `zoomFactor` method to define a zoom factor.
437
+
438
+
```php
439
+
Window::open()
440
+
->zoomFactor(1.25);
441
+
```
442
+
443
+
The zoom factor is the zoom percent divided by 100.
444
+
This means that you need to pass the value `1.25` if you want the window to be displayed at 125% size.
