Title: Language detection Last modified: March 29, 2024 --- # Language detection * Resolved [Nikodemsky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikodemsky/) * (@nikodemsky) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/language-detection-5/) * So the: **LANGUAGE AUTO-DETECTION STRATEGY: Document**doesn’t work properly, no matter what language is used in it shows content always in english.Maybe the issue is that it looks for simplfied codes like:**de**instead of iso codes:**de-DE**?Tried it both with WPML and Polylang – it’s broken on both of those.

Opting for ** German** will attempt to detect `de`, while **German (Germany)** will try to detect `de-DE`, **German (Austria)** will result in `de-AT`, and so forth. * Double-check that the languages you’ve selected are consistent with the settings of your translation plugin, such as WPML, Polylang, or similar plugins. * If this doesn’t resolve your issue, please let us know and provide a link to a website where the problem can be reproduced, if it’s possible. * Thread Starter [Nikodemsky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikodemsky/) * (@nikodemsky) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/language-detection-5/#post-17538531) * Ok so that explains a lot, it’s kind of confusing tho imo – any chance that you can add iso codes like [de] or [de-DE] before language name in dropdown? * Plugin Author [pressidium](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pressidium/) * (@pressidium) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/language-detection-5/#post-17538612) * Thanks for following up! It’s good to know that everything is working as expected. * > it’s kind of confusing tho imo – any chance that you can add iso codes like[ > de] or [de-DE] before language name in dropdown? * Yeah, we’ll definitely look into making things clearer to prevent confusion in the future. * I’m going to mark this as resolved.

But there is no Polish (Polish) to choose from the list so it always looks for “pl” instead of pl_PL (Polylang) * Plugin Author [pressidium](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pressidium/) * (@pressidium) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/language-detection-5/#post-17563064) * Hey, [@smartjb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smartjb/)! * This is already on our radar. We’re tracking its progress in [#61](https://github.com/pressidium/pressidium-cookie-consent/issues/61) on the plugin’s GitHub repository. * We’ll refine the options available within the language select field in a future iteration of the plugin. * Thanks for your understanding and patience. * [dodaxas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dodaxas/) * (@dodaxas) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/language-detection-5/#post-17736868) * Just use FILTER to modify LANG attribute OUTPUT * ```wp-block-code function modify_language_attributes_defaults($output, $doctype) {     // Check if WPML is active     if (function_exists('icl_object_id')) {         // Get the current language code          $current_language = apply_filters('wpml_current_language', NULL);         switch ($current_language) {             case 'en':                 $output = str_replace('en-US', 'en', $output);                 break;             case 'lt':                 $output = str_replace('lt-LT', 'lt', $output);                 break;             case 'ru':                 $output = str_replace('ru-RU', 'ru', $output);                  break;          }     }     return $output; } // add the filter add_filter( "language_attributes", "modify_language_attributes_defaults", 10, 2 ); ``` Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Language detection’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/pressidium-cookie-consent/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2928033) * [Pressidium Cookie Consent](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pressidium-cookie-consent/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pressidium-cookie-consent/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pressidium-cookie-consent/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pressidium-cookie-consent/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pressidium-cookie-consent/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pressidium-cookie-consent/reviews/) * 6 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [dodaxas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dodaxas/) * Last activity: [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/language-detection-5/#post-17736868) * Status: resolved
