Language detection

Permalink
Hi,

I'm making my first 5.7 C5 site, so I'm still a bit lost on the new way of doing things.

I used to use this for redirecting to the current language homepage:
$home = DIR_REL;
if ( Package::getByHandle('multilingual') ) {
    $ms = MultilingualSection::getCurrentSection();
    if (is_object($ms)) {
    $home = Loader::helper('navigation')->getLinkToCollection($ms, true);
    }
}


And this to change things based on language.
$lh = Loader::helper('section', 'multilingual');
$lang = $lh->getLanguage();
if ($lang == "pt_PT"){
// Do stuff in PT
} else {
// Do stuff not in PT
}


How can I go and to these things in 5.7?

Thank you
GBNT

Try under 'Dashboard' - 'System& Settings' - 'Multilingual' and click 'Multilingual Settings'. I set up my language trees and content sections, then at bottom set up the 'Multilingual Settings'.

See attached.

If you have a link I'll see if works at my end.

Hi Steevb,

Did you create the content areas under the main Home parent item in the sitemap? Like this:

Home -> fr -> en etc etc

To retrieve the language associated to a page (let's call it $c):
$ms = \Concrete\Core\Multilingual\Page\Section\Section::getBySectionOfSite($c);
if (is_object($ms)) {
   if ($ms->getLocale() === 'pt_PT') {
      echo 'Porto Santo Island is wonderful';
   }
}


If you want work with the current page, replace the first line above with:
$ms = \Concrete\Core\Multilingual\Page\Section\Section::getCurrentSection();
