PublishContext.PublishMode.RootItem is showing the wrong item language version

Question

When I publish the Home item, the selected language is English. But in code, the Root Item is coming as da (Danish).

On publish, for languages, I selected both Danish & English. So, is it taking the first language in that list?

How can I get the language that was selected, when the item was being published, i.e English in this case.

patch.config:

<pipelines>
  <publish>
    <processor type="MyCode.Handlers.AuditPublish, MyCode"/>
  </publish>
</pipelines>

AuditPublish.cs

public class AuditPublish:PublishProcessor
    {
        public override void Process(PublishContext context)
        {
            var rootItem = context.PublishOptions.RootItem;
        }
    }

Answer 1

You cannot. The publish job operation is independent from the context language/language selection the user has going on in the Content Editor.

Answer 2

If you want to get languages which are selected in Publish window, e.g. get Croatian, Dutch and French in this scenario:

you can check context.PublishOptions.Language. Be aware, that if you publish in multiple languages, Sitecore will create multiple publish options and will process them one by one (it may be different if you use Publish Service).

If you need to get the root item which is being published in one of those languages, you can call

var languageVersion = context.PublishOptions.RootItem.Database.GetItem(context.PublishOptions.RootItem.ID, context.PublishOptions.Language);
