Change the text if the site is in another language

Hello, I’m new to coding so I’m struggling with some very easy stuff.
I’m building a website that with a little coding: when the mouse hovers an image of a man/woman, it changes the text in a text box to man/women.

export function columnF_mouseIn(event) {
 //Add your code for this event here: 
    $w("#MFtxt").text = "F";
}

The problem is that I’m building a bilingual site and I need the text to change accordingly. Basically I need a code that says “If the language is english, the text becomes WOMEN; if the language if Portuguese, it changes to FEMININO”. I don’t know how to work with IFs yet, but I know there’s the wix-window.multilingual API to help me achieve that.

Thank you very much!

Got it

import wixWindow from 'wix-window';

export function columnF_mouseIn(event) {
 //Add your code for this event here: 

 let language = wixWindow.multilingual.currentLanguage; // "en"
 if( language === "en") {
        $w("#MFtxt").text = "W";  //do this thing
        }
 else if( language !== "en") {
        $w("#MFtxt").text = "F";  // or else do this other thing
        }

}
