The `Language` method on a `Site` object returns the language object for the given site. The language object points to the language definition in the site configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also use the `Language` method on a `Page` object. See [details].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Methods
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The examples below assume the following in your site configuration:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
|
||
|
|
[languages.de]
|
||
|
|
languageCode = 'de-DE'
|
||
|
|
languageDirection = 'ltr'
|
||
|
|
languageName = 'Deutsch'
|
||
|
|
weight = 1
|
||
|
|
{{< /code-toggle >}}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Lang
|
||
|
|
: (`string`) The language tag as defined by [RFC 5646].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go-html-template
|
||
|
|
{{ .Site.Language.Lang }} → de
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LanguageCode
|
||
|
|
: (`string`) The language code from the site configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go-html-template
|
||
|
|
{{ .Site.Language.LanguageCode }} → de-DE
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LanguageDirection
|
||
|
|
: (`string`) The language direction from the site configuration, either `ltr` or `rtl`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go-html-template
|
||
|
|
{{ .Site.Language.LanguageDirection }} → ltr
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LanguageName
|
||
|
|
: (`string`) The language name from the site configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go-html-template
|
||
|
|
{{ .Site.Language.LanguageName }} → Deutsch
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Weight
|
||
|
|
: (`int`) The language weight from the site configuration which determines its order in the slice of languages returned by the `Languages` method on a `Site` object.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go-html-template
|
||
|
|
{{ .Site.Language.Weight }} → 1
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some of the methods above are commonly used in a base template as attributes for the `html` element.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go-html-template
|
||
|
|
<html
|
||
|
|
lang="{{ or site.Language.LanguageCode site.Language.Lang }}"
|
||
|
|
dir="{{ or site.Language.LanguageDirection `ltr` }}
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The example above uses the global [`site`] function instead of accessing the `Site` object via the `.Site` notation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also note that each attribute has a fallback value assigned via the [`or`] operator.
