How can I load an article by locale using Liquid?

[abiratsis]

Hello, I am currently loading an Article dynamically as shown below:

    {% assign introductionPath = blog.handle | append: '/introduction'  %}
    {% assign introductionSection = articles[introductionPath]  %}

    {{ introductionSection.content }}  <!-- this shows always the default language --> 

although the problem with this approach is that the current locale is completely ignored. Is there any way to rewrite the above script so that I include the current selected locale and load the content with the correct language?

Thank you for the help

Hi @abiratsis 

You can refer to this code and check if it works

{% assign introductionPath = blog.handle | append: '/introduction' %}
{% assign introductionSection = articles[introductionPath] %}

{% capture localeContentKey %}{{ introductionPath }}_{{ request.locale | downcase }}{% endcapture %}
{% assign localeContent = introductionSection[localeContentKey] %}
{{ localeContent.content }}

Thank you very much for your answer. Apparently, there is another issue with the code, when I try to print out

request.locale.iso_code

 I always get the default locale == en. Do you have any clue why is this happening?

You can try to use this code, it will return the name of the locale in the locale itself.

{{ request.locale.endonym_name }}

Well ok, that will give me English instead of en, but the problem is that when I change to German I still get en, instead of de

Hi @abiratsis 

You can try to use this code to get current locale and check if it works for you

{% if content_for_header %}
  {% assign locale_info = content_for_header | split: ',"locale":"' %}
  {% assign locale_info = locale_info[1] | split: '","' %}
  {% assign current_locale = locale_info[0] %}
  Current Locale: {{ current_locale }}
{% endif %}

Hello @Dan-From-Ryviu thank you for the answer but that didn't work either.

Let's assume I will manage to extract the current locale from the url, may I ask you where did you get the pattern 

{% capture localeContentKey %}{{ introductionPath }}_{{ request.locale.iso_code | downcase }}{% endcapture %}

from? I am asking because when I tried to hardocode the locale this didn't work either. For instance I tried introductionSection['myblog/introduction_en'] and this doesn't work either. So I was wondering if there is a way to get content of an article by specifying locale.

Thank you
