# current language

This block is part of the [`value`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value) group and was last modified in core [`v13.0.4`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/130004).

Returns the current language.

- language `value`

Outputs the ENTITY's configured language setting, not the requesting user's locale. Outputs an empty string when no language is configured or the language service is unavailable.

A typical wiring for [current language](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_current_language): the `value` out pin feeds [convert to uppercase](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_to_uppercase).
