How to detect store's translated language

[ITchef]

Hi,

I've just installed the new translation app by Shopify "Translate & Adapt". Is there a way to detect the selected language by using Liquid? I need to display different messages based on the translated language.

I came across this old thread that detects the language in the pathname but I wonder whether or not there is a newer way to detect the language: How to detect/check current or default site language in liquid? - Shopify Community

Thank you,

ITchef

Hi there,

Rich here from the product team. Yes you can - more info here: 

https://shopify.dev/api/liquid/objects#request-locale - you can use this to determine the locale the customer has selected / been directed to.
