Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to get the language of a specific post as well as the Language of the current page on the frontend.

Solution:

This can be done by using the shortcodes below.

// Add Shortcode
function get_post_language( $atts ) {
 
    // Attributes
    $atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            'id' => '',
        ),
        $atts
    );
 
    $language = apply_filters( 'wpml_post_language_details', NULL, $atts['id'] ) ;
     
    return $language['language_code'];
 
}
add_shortcode( 'get_post_language', 'get_post_language' );

To get the current language being viewed you can use the shortcode below.

// Add Shortcode
function current_language() {
 
     $my_current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
    return $my_current_lang;
 
}
add_shortcode( 'current_language', 'current_language' );

You can add them to the toolset custom code section in Toolset -> Settings -> Custom Code and activate the snippet.

The shortcodes that will be generated are
[get_post_language id='[wpv-post-id]']

And
[current_laguage]

Now for the get_post_language shortcode i'm passing in the id of a post to get the language of that post based on its ID.
