I want to get the language prefix from url with Wordpress, but I don't know how. if I have the following url http://sitename.com/ru/about-us, I want to get the full path including /ru/, but whatever I try i don't get it ,e.g 

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

I am using qTranslate plugin, and my site it multilanguage

I just want to check if the url link has language prefix after host name, I can do that if i get the whole url, but I can't get it, anybody can help me?

    run `echo var_dump($_SERVER);` and look at result. maybe helps. – marioosh Jan 23 '14 at 06:46
  • REDIRECT_URL, that is what i need, thanks @marioosh – Anna Gabrielyan Jan 23 '14 at 06:53
  • @anulik It would be good to include the fact that it's a single site installation and multilanguage using qTranslate in your question (even if it is already resolved)! :-) – Minister Jan 23 '14 at 06:53
  • ok, just added, thanks for note – Anna Gabrielyan Jan 23 '14 at 06:56
  • I'm not sure $_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'] will work for you to fix the multilang issues - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6483912/php-serverredirect-url-vs-serverrequest-uri What you tried to get the requested URI is the correct way! Let me know the results if you try the plugin I posted in my answer... – Minister Jan 23 '14 at 07:20
  • @Minister, i don't need to make any changes to my .htaccess, my main point is, i have 3 sites with different domeins, site.am, site.ru, site.com,wich are working with single db, and in db sTranslate has set as default language english, if i open site.ru my site default language must be russian, so my site language at first for site.ru must be russian – Anna Gabrielyan Jan 23 '14 at 07:52
  • so in my functions.php i am just getting the /ru/ or /en/ from my url, and if that prefixs are not exists i am changing language, if not just letting to qTranslate do his work $q_config['default_language'] = $current_domain_lang; $url = substr($_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'],0,4); if($url!="/en/" && $url!="/am/" && $url!="/ru/"){ $q_config['language'] = $current_domain_lang; $q_config['default_language'] = $current_domain_lang; } – Anna Gabrielyan Jan 23 '14 at 07:54
  • it is working for me, i just get what i need – Anna Gabrielyan Jan 23 '14 at 07:54
  • the point is i have tried to use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], but i don't get the language prefix, it returns just /about-us/, but the $_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'] is including the lang prefix, /ru/about-us/, see above, i have wrote in my question, that i had tried the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] – Anna Gabrielyan Jan 23 '14 at 08:00
  • OK, I'm not going to change your mind... Just cheched my WP+MU and [REDIRECT_URL] => /ru/contact/, and also: [REQUEST_URI] => /ru/contact/ (If some day it doesn't work as you may need, keep that in mind. It could be better to check your server config some day...) – Minister Jan 23 '14 at 08:16

This question seems similar to another one. The fix could be to install the following plugin:

http://wordpress.org/plugins/qtranslate-slug/

It should fix the URL problems that as it seems qTranslate has.

Reference: Keep the string prepended in request uri

If not working, you may want to try all other suggested code...

You can easily do that with Permalinks option from your WP dash board. Go to Settings > Permalinks. Select Custom Structure and add this line /ru/%postname%/.
