Get current language with angular-translate

Question

Is there a way to get the current used language in a controller (without $translateProvider)?

Couldn't find anything in the $translate service.

Answer 1

$translate.use() is a getter and setter.

See this demo found in links of docs:

Answer 2

$translate.use() is the way to go. Also, when an asynchronous loader is executed, you might wanna use $translate.proposedLanguage() which returns the language key of the language that is currently loaded but not finished loaded yet.
