Can't find the right variable to determine the current language

[Jean Gangolf]

Hello

I would be glad to get your help.

Problem: in product-images-modal.tpl I'd like a text appearing under the product image, depending on the language in which the browser (shop) is instantly shown.

To do so, I changed the "original standard" block:

{block name='product_description_short'}
            <div id="product-description-short" itemprop="description">{$product.description_short nofilter}</div>
          {/block}

into my own (example):

{block name='product_description_short'}
{if $current_language.iso_code == 'de'} {$good}
            {else} {$bad}
            {/if}
{/block}

where id_lang or iso_code = German.

in the header, the two variables and their values have been assigned. No matter the language code is as shown, or (p.ex.) $current_language.id_lang == '1' the result is always the same. It is ignored and the "else" value is given.

So I think that the "if" request is correct. But I don't have the right variable to determine the instantly used language?

Thanks in advance for any help!

PS. my block is standing alone in an "override" theme...

Solved!!

While trying (to?) many possibilities I was getting blind! Leaving aside the

current

brought the wanted effect! So now everything works fine!
