Get post language in acf/save_post

Hi!

I have a custom listener that renames a post based on the contents of a couple of acf fields.

// Set name and slug based on week number and product
function mk_weekmenu_post_type_update($post_id) {
	if (get_post_type($post_id) == 'weekmenu') {
		$week = get_field('menu_week');
		$product = get_field('product');
		$menuName = sprintf(__('%s v. %s', 'mk'), $product->post_title, $week);
		$deliveryDate = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field('menu_delivery'));
		wp_update_post(array(
			'ID' => $post_id,
			'post_title' => $menuName,
			// Slug
			'post_name' => sanitize_title($product->post_title . ' ' . $deliveryDate->format('Y') . ' v.' . $week)
		));
	}
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'mk_weekmenu_post_type_update', 20);

This works well, but my problem is that since i’m getting a translation with __(‘%s v. %s’, ‘mk’) ACF is basing this on the admin language set for the user.

If I set the checkbox “Set admin language as editing language.”
Then the right translation is used when I save the post.

But if it’s unchecked I always get my default language.

How can I get the language of the post being saved and use that for the __() translation? so that the administrators language doesn’t matter

Hi @leon

I’m not sure I understand the issue. Could you please share the input and the result when you enabled and disabled the “Set admin language as editing language.”?

Also, I believe that options are related to WPML. Could you please get in touch with their support too?

Thanks 🙂
