Not so sure about the GPS/Sim part but the device has system locale built in. So depending on what the locale of the device is - you could use that?
Code:
import os
print " ** Getting system locale**"
sl = os.popen('locale | grep LANG').read()
print sl.strip()[5:]

Thanks!
It is very useful.
I can get the local information from LC_TELEPHONE variable.
This can be used instead of SIM operator information.
So I just need the same thing from the GPS coordinates

hmmm what exact info do you want from the gps co-ords....
Getting the co-ords is easy, but to find location out from there i'd assume you would need to either
a) Have a local database and select nearest co-ord as the location
b) Query a web api from somewhere?
Maybe something like - http://code.google.com/apis/maps/doc...verseGeocoding
You can even get the timecode from gps co-ords here - http://www.earthtools.org/index.php?...&z=4&t=3&m=Map

I just want to get the language/country information.
So here is an example.
I live in Croatia.
Let's say I go on a holiday to Turkey.
I get there, start my translator application.
Id like the initial data to be the following:
- source language set to Croatian
- target (translation) language set to Turkish

ahhh clever......
Hmmm how about -
http://ws.geonames.org/findNearbyPla...lat=47.3&lng=9
(notice the basic lat + long sent in - and it returns an xml - nearest city, country code and country name
)

Thank you very much noobmonkey!
That's what I'm looking for.
My app needs an internet connection anyway, so a web service approach is the way to go. Much simpler than making a local database

Will definitley be interested in testing it too!
- good idea and good luck!

Thanks.
There isn't much to tell about that part.
I have my own web service that will resolve country name to a standard format (for my app).
The client program gets the right name string, checks if the two collected information are different (otherwise target lang is English), and sets the comboboxes to appropriate value.
The original idea was to create a speech-to-speech translator, using a composition of available web services like: Google translate, Google TTS(text-to-speech), ISpeech, Loquendo TTS etc. etc. etc. It can use any engine, as long as it can get the result trough HTTP.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a suitable speech-to-text Linux program, so it will only accept typed input, and return translated text and an audio file with the pronunciation.
Now I'm looking to spice thing up a little. With this location thing, OpenGL face model with lip sync etc.
Anyway, it will be in testing in about a month or two.

I'm developing a translator application.
I'd like it to detect languages automatically, target language from GPS coordinates and source language from information about SIM card operator.
So I need to extract only the country name, no coordinates.
Does anyone know how to do this?
I'm developing in Python and Qt4.
