I have a situation where I want to give specific style to my Navigation Menu when the website is in German language.

My website works well in English language but when I switch to German, it causes a css problem.

So how do I determine which language is currently active with qTranslate plugin?

You can use the qtrans_getLanguage() function.

$currentLang = qtrans_getLanguage();

return the current language. See this link for an example

Notice that qtranxf_getLanguage should be used instead for qTranslate X. There is also some compatibility functions in the plugin options according to this

I have found a possible solution:

if ( 'de' === $GLOBALS['q_config']['language'])
{
    echo "<style>#nav li a { margin-left:3px !important; }</style>"; // menu bar width fix
}

This works well for my menu items being not looking wired.

Thanks Kaiser. Does this method work for all global variables?
