No, nothing as complicated as that: \currentmainlanguage is an
expandable macro, so it simply expands to its actual content: cs

This also means that my proposed solution will not work if you put
it in a separate lua file: you have to convert it to a lua function
in that case that takes \currentmainlanguage as an argument.

Best wishes,
Taco
