Discord GameSDK always returns "en-US" from a User's Locale. #4

Even if a User switches to a different Locale in their Client, it still results in "en-US" been outputted.

This occurs when you are not launching a game from our library. The behavior that we support is that when a game is launched from Discord's library, we pass a number of environment variables to your program:

DISCORD_ACCESS_TOKEN
DISCORD_CURRENT_BRANCH
DISCORD_INSTANCE_ID
DISCORD_STORAGE_PATH

Connecting to the SDK without launching this way does not pass those environment variables. We can look into supporting that.

That isn't the fault here... Since the GameSDK has to get the Locale from the User's Discord Client no? I am aware of environment variables being passed. The User's Locale has nothing to do with that. It'll always return en-US even if explicitly marked in a User's Discord Client Language is different... + I have no other native way of launching my game than through Discord Library with exception to builds not pushed to discord, and my Editor.
