Polylang Huge IT Slider

    Hello Everyone!

    I’m using Polylang alongside with Huge IT Slider and I found out that Huge IT Slider is not supported by Polylang (I can’t translate my sliders) but I managed to solve this by doing separate sliders for separate languages.

    I’ve read on the documentation that there is a function called “pll_current_language” which returns the actually set language and I think I can use this to determine the selected language and display the slider for the selected language.

    Now my question is the following: How can I use this function alongside with PHP elseif/else if?

    My two language is Hungarian and Slovak and I’m using the Twenty Sixteen theme.

    So I want to do the following check on the header:

    If the language is set to hungarian
<?php echo do_shortcode("[huge_it_slider id='1']"); ?>
If the language is set to slovak
<?php echo do_shortcode("[huge_it_slider id='2']"); ?>

    How can I use this check?

    Thank you for your time and help!

    Hello everyone!

    It’s me again.

    I’ve managed to solve it with the following code:

    <?php
 $currentlang = get_bloginfo('language');
 if($currentlang=="hu-HU"):
?>
 <?php echo do_shortcode("[huge_it_slider id='1']"); ?><br />
<?php else: ?>
  <?php echo do_shortcode("[huge_it_slider id='2']"); ?><br />
<?php endif; ?>

    For beginners like me to spare some hours of search a little (noob) explanation:

    This part does the first language check:

    <?php
 $currentlang = get_bloginfo('language');
 if($currentlang=="hu-HU"):
?>

    This part shows the hungarian slider if the above statement is true:
    <?php echo do_shortcode("[huge_it_slider id='1']"); ?><br />

    This part moves on to the next operation (if the statement in the previous case is NOT true):
    <?php else: ?>

    This part shows the slovak slider:
    <?php echo do_shortcode("[huge_it_slider id='2']"); ?><br />

    And this part closes the whole operation:
    <?php endif; ?>

    I think this is a pretty easy solution for 2 languages. Maybe with more languages you need to create more “if” sections.

    So problem solved, thank you for the documentation of Polylang and WordPress.
