This function works in the same way as the polylang function for an easier integration of Falang.

IMPORTANT: when using one or more of these functions, you *must* check for its existence before using it, otherwise your site will badly break with a fatal error at the next Falang update (as WordPress deletes the plugin when updating it).

falang_current_language

Returns the current language

the Polylang like function (pll_current_language)

	
falang_current_language($value);

‘$value’ => (optional) either ‘name’ or ‘locale’ or ‘slug’, defaults to ‘slug’

returns either the full name, or the WordPress locale (just as the WordPress core function ‘get_locale’ or the slug ( 2-letters code) of the current language.

falang_default_language

Returns the default language

the Polylang like function (pll_default_language)

		
falang_default_language($value);

‘$value’ => (optional) either ‘name’ or ‘locale’ or ‘slug’, defaults to ‘slug’

returns either the full name, or the WordPress locale (just as the WordPress core function ‘get_locale’ or the slug ( 2-letters code) of the current language.

Code for specific language

if (class_exists( 'Falang' )) {

  $current_locale = Falang()->get_current_language()->locale;

  if ($current_locale == 'en_US'){
    //my code for english 
  }

  if ($current_locale == 'it_IT'){
    //my code for italian 
  }

  if ($current_locale == 'fr_FR'){
    //my code for french 
  }

}
