Hi guys,

I have searched over the whole internet to find a solution for the following.
Is there a way I can use the shortcode below, but ONLY show the flags and names from the current (active) language?

<?php pll_the_languages(array(‘show_flags’=>1,’show_names’=>1)); ?>

So something like:
<?php pll_the_languages(array(‘lang’ => get_locale(), show_flags’=>1,’show_names’=>1)); ?>

If there is an other PHP way to do this, that’s also fine!
I just need the flag and name from the current language.

Thanks a lot!

Danny

To get the current language just use pll_current_language.

Hi the Coder,

Thanks. I saw this function, but I don’t get any data.
How should I use this function?
‘Show flags’ etcetera didn’t do anything..

Any example? Thanks a lot!

@quering You have to read the documentation. show_flags is not part of this function. Use it as it is just to get the current language.

Hi The Coder,

I understand the following code echo’s (in my case) “nl”.
<?php echo pll_current_language();?>

But I want to get dynamically the full language name AND flag.
Is this possible at all? I do not want to make an if-statement.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

There are several solutions.

As documented here: https://polylang.pro/doc/function-reference/
pll_the_languages( array( 'raw' => 1 ) );
returns all the information you need for all languages. The current language as the element current_lang set to true.

Otherwise, you can use pll_current_language() as suggested by @codestylist. It allows to get all the language properties individually. ‘name’, ‘flag’, etc…
