How to output the website's current language name?

[zilli]

Hello,

Forgive this newbie, but I could not find a solution for this "simple" issue. I have a multi-language website and I would like to output the current language's name on my menu. 

I was able to generate the language switcher/navigation without a problem, but I cannot figure out how to echo the current language. 

Thanks!

Hello Zilli, 

you should be able to echo the title of the current language like this:

echo $user->language->title;

You can set the title of the language under Setup->Languages in the backend.

Best,
Nils

Thanks, but that only works with logged used, right?

It worked as expected!

Thank you!
