Accessing the current locale code from Twig

[Poldovico]

I can't seem to figure out how to get the current locale code (say "en_US" or "it_IT") from Twig in a simple way.
I may just be missing how to do it, but in case there currently isn't a self-contained way, I propose adding a dedicated key to each locale translation as a simple fix.

If we do go with adding a dedicated key, I can make the PR myself but I'm not sure to which file.

That's actually a valid point. The default locale can be found in site.locale.default, but this can be overwritten by the user own locale...

Adding a key in the translation files is indeed a quick and easy fix. However, I'm working on improvement on the locale system for the next version, I'll add this to my list.

I actually assumed the value of site.locale.default would NOT be overwritten by the user's selected locale. If it is, then that's what I need, though I would argue the name to be confusing. That leaves us with the opposite problem of how to get the default locale, though. An example use case would be with a JS plugin such as Uppy, which has its own localisation system that just needs you to tell it what locale to use.

Actually, what I meant was, The current locale can be overwritten by the user locale. So site.locale.default will always show the correct default locale, but this value might not be up to date with the user locale...

Implemented in d3f3138 for UF 4.4. Will be available using the currentLocale global Twig variable:

{{ currentLocale }}

Result :

en_US
