FreeMarker - Request local language

[Mar Kus, geändert vor 6 Jahren.]

Does anyone know how to request the current language local the user is using like "en_US"?

I want to use this variable in a template.

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Markus

${w3c_language_id}

Many thanks for your reply.

But this doesn't work for me: <a>${w3c_language_id}</a>

Do I have to assign it in a special way?

[Nikolai Reisch, geändert vor 6 Jahren.]

it comes from init.ftl:

<#assign language = locale.getLanguage() />
<#assign language_id = user.getLanguageId() />
<#assign w3c_language_id = localeUtil.toW3cLanguageId(theme_display.getLanguageId()) />
<#assign time_zone = user.getTimeZoneId() />

Hi Markus,
I have used that variable like this:

<#assign langId = themeDisplay.getLanguageId() /> 
<#if langId == "es_ES" >
		${langId}
<!--#if-->

Many thanks for your replies!

Finally, that solution worked for me:
<#assign langId = request['theme-display']['language-id'] />

<#assign langId = request['theme-display']['language-id'] /> worked !

Special variables are variables defined by the FreeMarker engine itself. To access them, you use the .variable_name syntax.locale: Returns the current value of the locale setting. This is a string, for example en_US. For more information about locale strings see the setting directive.

So to access the current local within a Freemarker template you would use

[code]The current locale is: ${.locale}

To use it in a conditional statement as per your requirements, you would do:

[code]<#if .locale == "DE">
   ...
<#else>
   ...
<!--#if-->
