The UILangCode extension implements the {{UILANGCODE}} magic word to get the interface language of the current user.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted UILangCode folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/UILangCode
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'UILangCode' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Usage

{{UILANGCODE}}

This will make the parser cache vary per user language, greatly decreasing hit rate and increasing storage.
