 * Hi everybody,
 * I’m working on a bilingual site. i have two forms one in french and one in english
   with those shortcodes.
    So i tried to create a shortcode with nested shortcode
   conditional language but it doesn’t work.
 * here my code in function.php:
 *     ```
       <?php 
   
        function getProjectForm_shortcode($atts, $content = ""){
            $current_language = get_locale();
   
           if( $current_language == 'en_EN' ){
                if ($content) {
   
                   /$content = do_shortcode("[{$content}]");
            //here the shortcode [gravityform id="3" title="false"]
                }
            }
   
            if( $current_language == 'fr_FR' ){
                if ($content) {
   
                   $content = do_shortcode("[{$content}]");
          //here the shortcode [gravityform id="4" title="false"]
                }
           }
       }
        add_shortcode( 'getProjectForm', 'getProjectForm_shortcode' );
   
        ?>
       ```
   
 * And i put my shortcode [getProjectForm] in my page but nothing happen.
 * can you help me to solve this problem please
 * Big thanks in advance

 * What stands out first is that you’ve forgotten to return the content at the end
   of your function. You’ll need to add this:
 * `return $content;`
 * If it still doesn’t do anything, you should do some basic debugging with echo
   statements in your function to see what’s happening.
