Translations / Multi languages

Get the current language

{{current_lang.local}}  <!-- for example: fr, en -->
{{current_lang.iso}} <!-- for example: fr_FR, en_US -->

<!-- 
These ones can be overrided by the user 
in the backoffice for each website 
-->
{{current_lang.name_full}} <!-- for example Français, English -->
{{current_lang.name_short}} <!-- for example fr, en -->

You can do use these variables in if/else statement, even if you should as most possible try to avoid to hardcode this kind of logic. Different behavior should be editable in the backoffice.

Variables

When link variables are non translatable => if you choose internal link or galaxy link, the system will automatically generate the link in the correct language

RTL Languages

When building a theme, it can be used with several languages, including right-to-left languages (like Arabic, or Hebrew for example).

<html dir="rtl" lang="ar" data-template="home">

Just as you can use {{current_lang.local}} , you also have {{current_lang.reading_direction_id}}.

{{current_lang.reading_direction_id}} <-- Will return ltr or rtl -->
