 * Hey, I have this code:
 *     ```
       add_action('plugins_loaded', 'check_language');
   
       function check_language(){
   
       	$userid = wp_get_current_user()->ID;
   
       	if(substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 0, 6) == '/lang/'){
       		switch(substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 6, 2)){
   
       			case 'en' : $language = 'english'; break;
       			case 'fr' : $language = 'french'; break;
       			default : $language = 'english'; break;
   
       		}
   
       		update_user_meta( $userid, 'language', $language );
       	}
   
       }
       ```
   
 * Now it’s in the plugin, but, it only ever stores french in the DB, can anyone
   see why this is? I am pulling my hair out cause I am surely missing something
   stupid.
 * I have 2 pages under the parent of ‘language’ which are english and french. The
   URLS are:
    english: /lang/en/ french: /lang/fr/
 * Thanks in advance.
