Question

How to get the currently selected language (current page or user language) programmatically in Drupal8 ?

Drupal 8

//To get the lanuage code: $language = \Drupal::languageManager()->getCurrentLanguage()->getId();

//To get the language name: $language = \Drupal::languageManager()->getCurrentLanguage()->getName();

global $language; $language=$language->language;

To get all enabled language in drupal 8 :

\Drupal::languageManager()->getLanguages();

This may be helpful to any one.

Yes, Thank you :)

Drupal 7:

global $language;
// return lang code;
return $language->language;

Drupal 8:

return $language = \Drupal::languageManager()->getCurrentLanguage()->getId();

Thank you! I couldn't figure out how to call this.

thank you worked like a charm
