Call custom field in functions.php

    In WP posts I have added a custom field named ‘googledriveurl’ in which a URL to Google Drive can be added. The WP installation is only on localhost at this stage and uses Polylang to handle two different languages (Swedish and English).

    I have tried to create a shortcode in functions.php to return an a href link with the custom field included, along with some text in respective language and so far I have tried: 

    function googlesheetpdf_shortcode() {
    if (pll_current_language() == 'sv_SE') {
    echo '<a href="CUSTOMFIELD/view#gid=0">Spara som PDF</a>';
     } else echo '<a href="CUSTOMFIELD/view#gid=146971">Save as PDF</a>';
     }
add_shortcode('googlesheetpdf', 'googlesheetpdf_shortcode');

    I have searched around and tried a number of ways that I’ve come across but I’m stuck and confused – so I thought I’d ask and see if anyone could help.

    Thanks!

    So it looks like I managed to get it sorted! In case someone else is trying the same here is the code I ended up with: 

    function googlesheetpdf_shortcode() {
    $googleurl = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'do_googlesheet', array( 'output_as' => 'text' ));
    if (pll_current_language() == 'sv') {
    return> '<a href="' . $googleurl . '/view#gid=0">Spara som PDF</a>';
     } else return '<a href="' . $googleurl . '/view#gid=146971">Save as PDF</a>';
     }
add_shortcode('googlesheetpdf', 'googlesheetpdf_shortcode');
