Is there a {{USERLANG}} function similar to {{CONTENTLANG}}?

I have an external link that I want to post on my wiki that I know will be used internationally and I want to be able to have the link not default to en. This link (http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=free+mmo+guild+hosting&pf=p&output=search) I wanted to make it read http://www.google.com/#hl={{USERLANG}}&q=free+mmo+guild+hosting&pf=p&output=search instead of assuming everyone comprehends "en". Can this be done? -- Technical 13 (talk) 00:20, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Not easily.

There is a way though, doing {{int:lang}} will translcude mediawiki:lang/<User_lang_code_here>. So if you create mediawiki:lang/en, mediawiki:lang/fr, etc with the relavent codes, {{int:lang}} would work like userlanguage (Yes this is a horrible ugly hack. Its what is done on Wikimedia commons).
