General channel name

[yuval256]

Type of issue

Missing information

Feedback

I'm trying to get the general channel name since it's not always "General."
The documentation states, "The name of the default General channel is returned as null to allow for localization."

1. Can you explain what does this mean? How is it related to localization?
2. How, then, can I retrieve the general channel name without requesting extra permissions and using the graph API?
