Display content based on current language with IF/ ELSE

    Hello,

    how can you display content based on the current language (on a bilingual website)?

    I put this code from http://msls.co/ in my child theme’s functions.php:

    function switcheroo() {
$blog     = MslsBlogCollection::instance()->get_current_blog();
$language = $blog->get_language();
}

    And this in my footer.php:

    <?php
if( switcheroo() == 'de_DE' ){ ?>
<!-- German content here-->
German content
<?php
}else { ?>
<!-- English content here-->
English content
<?php }?>

    My ELSE rule works, but not the IF rule.
    I guess the solution must be really obvious, but I’m a PHP newb, so I just don’t see it.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Your function does not return the $language.

    
function switcheroo() {
    $blog = MslsBlogCollection::instance()->get_current_blog();
    return $blog->get_language();
}

    You can also use the WordPress-function get_locale() in your case.

    <?php
if ( 'de_DE' == get_locale() ) { ?>
<!-- German content here-->
German content
<?php } else { ?>
<!-- English content here-->
English content
<?php } ?>

    That’s a lot less complicated and it works for me!

    Thanks a lot and have a nice week!
