wpml_current_language
Get the current display language

WPML Version: 3.2

Returns the current language

apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', mixed $empty_value )

$empty_value

(mixed) (Required) This is normally the value the filter will be modifying. We are not filtering anything here so set this to NULL. This for the filter function to actually receive the full argument list

A basic example

 $my_current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL ); 

Creating a shortcode to return the current language

function get_language_shortcode() {
    return apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', null );
}
add_shortcode( 'language', 'get_language_shortcode' );
