WPML has a global to check for the language, though it might be outside the scope of WPSE because this is a commercial plugin. It works like: if (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE == ‘en’){ //do something like a custom query… }else{ // do something else
WPML offers this feature. You can set it in the Languages adminsection, at the option Browser Language Redirect.
No matter what languages your site are in, when using WPML you should never install a localised WordPress version, instead you should just install the default one (i.e. US English).

You can use site_url() or get_site_url(). Depending on your install and setup, you could as well use network_site_url() – which is what I would prefer as it falls back to site_url() internally if it is no multisite setup.
