How can I get the language name of the current node?

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to get the name of the language of the current node in display suite. I find a language option under one of the node categories in the dynamic field content selector, but that outputs the language code, not the name. Do I need to handle this in a preprocess function or is there some way of getting this that I've not managed to find?

Answer 1

I didn't find anything there available for clickers. I could suggest the following alternative:

1. Activate the "Display Suite Format" module

2. Create Display Suite "Code field" with following content:

   <?php
     return t(locale_language_name($entity->language));
   ?>
   

3. Don't forget to activate the "Display Suite code" text format for this code field.
4. Add this code field to your content type's display!

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Here's what I've done. I'd love a better answer:

in my templates.php in my theme (the dynamic field I created in display suite is called language):

function MYTHEME_preprocess_field(&$variables) {
    if ($fieldname == 'language') {
        $item['#markup'] = locale_language_name($item['#markup']);
    }
}
