Current User Data in config.php

[ozlegolas]

Hi,
I'm trying to make my site bilingual, so I need current user's data to use in config.php. I've tried to define $current_user as global in config.php, but $current_user->user_login didn't return a value. How can I acquire current user's data in config.php? Any help would be appreciated.

I used

(isset($_COOKIE['mnm_user'] ) ? sanit($_COOKIE['mnm_user']) : '')

to get current user's name.
