i tried with activeLocale and also with locales array but one can not stop the loop and thus it was impossible for me to render some content conditionally. this is how i solved it, after reading the logic of plugin that how it is working, I did this in one of my partials. 

==
use RainLab\Translate\Classes\Translator;
protected $translator;

function onStart()
{
    $this->translator = Translator::instance();
    $this['SelectedLanguage'] = $this->activeLocale = $this->translator->getLocale();
}
==
{% set CurrentLanguage = SelectedLanguage %}

now {{CurrentLanguage}} will give me code for current language so now using twig i can do some conditional rendering like this

{% if CurrentLanguage is same as('en') %}{% endif %}
{% if CurrentLanguage is same as('tr') %}{% endif %}
{% if CurrentLanguage is same as('gr') %}{% endif %}

Maybe there could be a another solution. but this one worked like charm.

Update:

Although, In case of components or elsewhere one can use session to retrieve the current language this way,

Session::get('rainlab.translate.locale')

Assuming that you use RainLab.Translate plugin?

Create a partial that uses the localePicker component and then use your custom code:

<div>{{ activeLocale }} - {{ activeLocaleName }}</div>
{% for code, name in localePicker.locales %}
    <div>{{ code }} - {{ name }}</div>
{% endfor %}

And just call that partial from where you want to use it.

In twig you can access the current language with {{ activeLocale }}, the full language name with {{ activeLocaleName }} and an array with all locales available with {{ locales }}.

You could use {{ dump() }} to see all variables available on a page. If you try it you will find the locale variables right there as well.
