Sure, here is how you can detect the lang of any variable via jQuery:lang() selector:

Code snippet

// Get the value of the variable
var lang = variable;

// Create a jQuery object
var $element = $(lang);

// Use the :lang() selector to select all elements with the specified language
var $langElements = $element.filter(":lang(lang)");

// Get the lang attribute of the first element
var langAttribute = $langElements.attr("lang");

// Display the lang attribute
console.log(langAttribute);

For example, if the variable lang is equal to en, the following code will select all elements with the lang attribute set to en and then print the value of the lang attribute of the first element.

Code snippet

var lang = "en";

var $element = $(lang);

var $langElements = $element.filter(":lang(lang)");

var langAttribute = $langElements.attr("lang");

console.log(langAttribute);

This code will print the following output:

Code snippet

en

You can also use the :lang() selector to select multiple elements with the same language. For example, the following code will select all elements with the lang attribute set to en or es.

Code snippet

var lang = "en";

var $element = $(lang);

var $langElements = $element.filter(":lang(en, es)");

console.log($langElements);

This code will print the following output:

Code snippet

<div lang="en">This is an English element.</div>
<div lang="es">Este es un elemento español.</div>

The :lang() selector is a powerful tool that can be used to select elements based on their language. This can be useful for tasks such as internationalization and localization.
