Using metakeys to add language code to post title

    On a multilanguage blog I want to be able to add language codes to the post title for screen readers. I am using custom fields to do this.

    I added the following code to the template files:

    In the header.php underneath the <body>: 

    <?php $language_class = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'language', true); ?>

    For the post title (category or single post):

    <h2 class="pc"> <a class="<?php
if ($language_class=="en") {
echo $language_class;
} else {
  echo "sl";
}
?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

    However it is not working. I have tried different things. And from what I can tell it is not getting the $language_class in the h2 tag.

    If I use <?php echo $language_class;?> it shows an empty class tag.

    I am getting a bit lost in the documentation. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong, or someone who can point me in the right direction?

    Many thanks. 🙂
