Proper syntax for simple conditional bloginfo language

Question

I need to do something like this:

<?php $bloginfo = get_bloginfo( 'language' );
  if($bloginfo->en-US){
     the_time('jS F Y');
  }else{ the_time('d/m/Y');
  };
 ?>

I cant find the proper way to wrap en-US. Any ideas? Thank you in advance, people.

Answer 1

get_bloginfo returns strings so this works fine:

<?php 
$language = get_bloginfo( 'language' );
if(language == 'en-US')
    the_time('jS F Y');
else
    the_time('d/m/Y');
?>
