You have it just with

window.navigator.userLanguage || window.navigator.language;

Sorry, I missuderstood the question. This answer is to get the language of the device / user without using the plugin. I leave this here in case they help you

First check the result of

if(typeof navigator.globalization !== "undefined") {

If its false, the rest of the code will be skipped, because you dont have the plugin.

To get the plugin:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-globalization

Try:

navigator.globalization.getPreferredLanguage(     function (language) {alert('language: ' + language.value + '\n');},     function () {alert('Error getting language\n');} );

The github doc

You use device or browser to test? Some of the cordova plugins wont work in browser, you need to run the app on device
