votes

i want to get the actual language which is chosen on a drupal 8 site in a node and start an if-request when e.g. the language is "en" to put out some content.

this is what i've already tried:

{% global language %}
{% set lang_name = language %}
{{ lang_name }}

and 

{{ app.session.locale }}
{{ app.request.locale }}

but it doesnt work. can someone give me a hint how i can get the language via twig on drupal 8 or is this not possible at all?

In your XXX.theme file:

function XXX_preprocess_node(&$variables) {
  $language = \Drupal::languageManager()->getCurrentLanguage()->getId();
  $variables['language'] = $language;
}

in your node template:

{{ language }}

I think you need to set $language in php before using {% global language %} in twig:

$language = \Drupal::languageManager()->getCurrentLanguage()->getId();

For language id you can use:

{{ language.getId() }}

For language name:

{{ language.getName() }}

For example:

{% if language.getId() == 'sr' %}
   <p>Zdravo svete!</p>
{% elseif language.getId() == 'hu' %}
   <p>Helló világ!</p>
{% else %}
   <p>Hello world!</p>
{% endif %}
