You can get the current locale in any component of your application using injectIntl():
injectIntl()
import { injectIntl, intlShape } from 'react-intl' const MyComponent = ({ intl }) => ( <div>{`The current locale is ${intl.locale}`}</div> ) MyComponent.propTypes = { intl: intlShape.isRequired } export default injectIntl(MyComponent)
