Hi,
how can I get the current language selected by the user?

I mean, when the user clicks on "english" in the language box, in a php script I need to know which is the language choosen by the user, in this case "english". How is it possible?

Thank you!

The solution is:

global $language ;
$lang_name = $language->language ;

When I use this code in a tempate (node.tpl):

global $language ;
$lang_name = $language->language ;

I'm getting an error:

warning: Attempt to assign property of non-object in /includes/theme.inc on line 1805.

the 1805 line of theme.inc is:

1804 $variables['language'] = $GLOBALS['language'];
1805 $variables['language']->dir = $GLOBALS['language']->direction ? 'rtl' : 'ltr';
1806 $variables['logo'] = theme_get_setting('logo');

I tried to change the code but I'm not good at PHP...

I just put a function in theme's template.php that is doing the above code and returning the language name - that way I am not getting any errors.

The function:

function UI_lang() {
global $language;
return $language->name;

}

(I used $language->name and I'm getting whole name of the language)
