First you edit setting.yaml of site package(If the site name is 'example',Then package\Sites\TYPO3.ExampleDemoTypo3Org\Configuration\Settings.yaml).

TYPO3:
  TYPO3CR:
    contentDimensions:
      'language':
        label: 'TYPO3.ExampleDemoTypo3Org:Main:contentDimensions.language'
        icon: 'icon-language'
        default: 'de'
        defaultPreset: 'de'
        presets:
          'all': ~
          'de':
            label: 'German'
            values: ['de', 'en', 'it']
            uriSegment: 'de'
          'en':
            label: 'English'
            values: ['en', 'de', 'it']
            uriSegment: 'en'
          'it':
            label: 'Italiano'
            values: ['it', 'fr','de']
            uriSegment: 'it'

The above mentioned code is the normal typo3 Neos language settings. The content in the language selector menu will appear based on the above selector. If you want to get currently selected (used) language identifier (locale), then you can get it in a fluid template using the below mentioned code.

{node.context.targetDimensions.language}

If you select german language using language selector, the above code gives the answer 'de'. It is my humble suggestion that, please avoid locale value like 'tabelle_EN', and table_DE etc.. This locale identifier is mainly used for translation purpose in Multilanguage sites.
