How to get the language name like "english" or "dutch"/

[pvh123]

In my current module, there is a scriptline to establish and include a language file.
It looks like this:

include("components/com_xemusicfx/language/".$mosConfig_lang.".php");

I thought by replacing it like this

include("components/com_xemusicfx/language/".JDocument::getLanguage().".php");

would get me the correct filename, like: english.php or dutch.php.

No such luck.   

Anybody help me?

I don't know if there is a new way of doing this. But maybe, you can get it like this:

Code: Select all

$lang = & JFactory::getLanguage();

include("components/com_xemusicfx/language/".$lang->getBackwardLang();.".php");

P.S: I would prefer single quotes for the above line to reduce parsing time.

Thanks very much, that the trick.

I have done a lot of searching and just today started to look in the Framework and wanted to start of with: $lang = Jlanguage::getname();

But I was near , not near enough.
