Wordpress PHP Image change depending on a language

Question

I am trying to write a piece of code that would allow me to change images or a whole block of a div depending on the language

        <?php 
    if($_SESSION['lang'] == "fr"){
            echo "images/header-fr-4.jpg";
        }else{
    echo "images/header-4-en.jpg";
}
     ?>

Is there any other way of doing this in wordpress?

Answer 1

You could do something like this:

$lang = $_SESSION['lang'];
die("SANATIZE YOUR VARIABLE");
echo "images/header-4-".$lang.".jpg";

You could always sanitize the variable in the header so you could use it throughout the entire script.

The Gengo plugin for WordPress supports translated posts and pages, as well as template elements depending on language. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gengo/

For example:

<?php if (islanguage('en')) echo "You are reading in English"; elseif (islanguage('ja')) echo "You are reading in Japanese"; else echo "You are seeing all posts..."; ?>
