How can I use getCurrentLang() in Webflow to determine the language code for a multi-language website with Weglot translation integration?

To determine the language code of the active language using getCurrentLang() when you have integrated Weglot translation into your Webflow site, follow these guidelines.

​

1. Understand Weglot Script Integration

• Ensure that you have properly integrated the Weglot script into your Webflow project as per Weglot's instructions.
• Weglot script typically includes methods like getCurrentLang() to interact with the language settings.

​

2. Implement getCurrentLang() Function

• Use getCurrentLang() to retrieve the active language code from Weglot.
• This function can be called within a <script> tag in the custom code section of your Webflow project.

​

3. Use getCurrentLang() in Webflow

• Access Project Settings in your Webflow dashboard and navigate to the Custom Code section.
• In the Before </body> tag section, add a <script> that calls getCurrentLang().
• Example: 

    ```javascript

    <script>

    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {

        var lang = Weglot.getCurrentLang();

        console.log("Current Language Code: ", lang);

    });

    </script>

    ```

• Publish your Webflow project to ensure the changes are active.

​

4. Testing the Functionality

• Open your website in a browser and use the console to verify that the correct language code (e.g., "en", "fr") is logged or returned as expected.
• Test the execution across different language settings to confirm reliability.

​

Summary

Utilize getCurrentLang() from the Weglot integration to access the current language code by inserting a script in Webflow’s Custom Code section. This allows you to tie custom functionality to language-specific scenarios effectively.
