[Plugin: Polylang] return the current language as variable for your template

did another little hack

at the top of polylang.php, add a new action, let’s say in the template tags section
add_action('show_current_language', array(&$this, 'show_current_language'));

then add a new function at the bottom, let’s say after the_languages

function show_current_language() {
	global $curlang;
	$curlang = $this->curlang->slug;
}

in your theme, you can put something like this in your header

<?php
	$curlang = "none";
	do_action('show_kcurrent_language');
?>

now you can return the slug name of your lang at any time, use it for if statements or to load a file, for example, you can put things like this in page.php
<?php include("sidebar-".$kcurlang.".php"); ?>

or

<?php
	if($curlang == "en") {
		echo "<h3>Latest News</h3>";
	}elseif($curlang == "fr") {
		echo "<h3>Dernières Nouvelles</h3>";
	}
?>

only 1 problem, the $curlang doesnt seem to get set within the theme header (you cant use that if statement example, but it works fine in the other template files, index/page/single/category/etc)
