How to replace data = TSFE:sys_language_uid in TYPO3 9 with aspects

We've had a typoscript configuration to tell the CSS in which language we are, adding a class into the body tag with a classnames language-x.

Since nothing seems to be documented about how to do this in Typoscript, I haven't tried much to solve this yet.

To do so, we used this typoscript:

// Language
    30 = TEXT
    30 {
        data = TSFE:sys_language_uid
        noTrimWrap = | language-||
    }

This now raises a E_USER_DEPRECATED:

Property $TSFE->sys_language_uid is not in use anymore as this information is now stored within the language aspect

Thanks in advance. Regards Thomi

Since TYPO3 9.5.3 it's also possible to access the current site language configuration with TypoScript Setup:

page.10 = TEXT
page.10.data = siteLanguage:navigationTitle
page.10.wrap = This is the title of the current site language: |

or

page.10 = TEXT
page.10.dataWrap = The current site language direction is {siteLanguage:direction}

See https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/core/latest/Changelog/9.5.x/Feature-86973-TypoScriptGetTextPropertySiteLanguage.html for the detailed documentation about the functionality.

@josef-glatz as you suggested, I think this works too.

In Thomi's case, I suggest using:

// Language
    30 = TEXT
    30 {
        data = sitelanguage:languageId
        noTrimWrap = | language-||
    }

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is only available since TYPO3 9.5.4, since Georg Ringer only fixed the issue on 28.12.2018.

Looking at the documentation:

https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/CoreApiReference/ApiOverview/SiteHandling/UseSiteInTypoScript.html

https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/CoreApiReference/ApiOverview/SiteHandling/UseSiteInConditions.html#sitehandling-inconditions

I think you can use a condition like:

[siteLanguage("typo3Language") == "it"]
  page.bodyTag = <body class="language-it">
[global]

Please take note that TYPO3 9.5 already puts the current language in the <html> tag, like: <html lang="it">

So you could use an attribute selector (very well supported) in your css:

html[lang="it"]{
/*css code here*/
}
