Everyone: Can an SMW custom data type access any variable holding a code for the language of the wiki that SMW is running in? I want my custom data type to output tooltip dates in the language of the wiki. Thus far I can get it to recognize an annotated Julian or Gregorian date by remembering which language-specific month-name array it found the month in. But if I annotate a date in an ancient language, and want the output in the Julian or Gregorian date, it defaults to English.
I thought I could pass the variable $wgLanguageCode from LocalSettings.php to my function to retrieve a month name. But it always defaulted to English. And that's inappropriate if the language of the wiki is /not/ English. What I'd like to do is capture the language code when I parse an input value and store it in a cache. Can I do that? What is the scope of $wgLanguageCode? Perhaps a simple scope-resolution operation will suffice? Terry A.
