 * Hi,
    Is there any way to identify the language in use in a Worpress site which
   is using TranslatePress? Thank you.

 * Hello,
 * Yes. There are several ways.
 * * in PHP you can use the $TRP_LANGUAGE global variable
    * we also setup a cookie“
   trp_current_language” with the language that you can access from JS and PHP *
   in the body class you’ll find the current language: like so: translatepress-en_US
 * If there’s anything else, please let me know!

 * Hi,
 * I have defined a global variable like
    **global $TRP_LANGUAGE;** With this variable,
   when I am doing **echo $TRP_LANGUAGE;** it returning **en_US**, **zh_HK** like
   this. But I need the actual code, which is passing through the url i.e. **en**,**
   hk** like this. So, can you please help!
