Get the current language or optionally a specific named language
- This method is not entirely necessary but is here to accompany the setLanguage() method for syntax convenience.
- If you specify a
$nameargument, this method works the same as the$languages->get($name)method. - If you call with no arguments, it returns the current user language, same as
$user->language, but using this method may be preferable in some contexts, depending on how your IDE understands API calls.
Available since version 3.0.127.
