media_for_language

Filter a list of media items by their medium_language property, return the best matching with the current or given language. Only visible media items are returned.

Let’s assume two media resources:

• 13925 with medium_language set to en
• 13926 with medium_language set to nl

If the current language is nl then:

{% print [13926, 13925]|media_for_language %}

Will show:

[13926]

But:

{% print [13926, 13925]|media_for_language:"en" %}

Will show:

[13925]

The filter tries to select the best matching language for the requested language. If there is no language requested, then the current request language is used.

If a language could not be found then the normal fallback language lookup will apply, just as with text translations lookups.

For example, given the above two ids and a request language of nl then the following:

{% print [13926, 13925]|media_for_language:"de" %}

Will print:

[13926]

This is because there are no German translations. So the system fell back to the request language(s) and selected the Dutch version.

This filter can be used to show all connected media that are in a certain language:

{% for media_id in m.edge.o[id].depiction %}
   {% media media_id %}
{% endfor %}
