Hi there,
In Indesign I need to place a small box of text just outside the document, containing a code that referrs to a language on a layer.
E.g. the document contains Dutch (NLNL) and Danish (DKDK). I’ve been able to create a box with the code to be placed in the correct layer, just outside my A4 page, matching the specific layer (with the same code name).
Now, what I would like is to add all the languages that are common but which will not always be necessary - there can be up to 15 different languages, one per layer, but also sometimes only 3, 4 or 8. One script to rule them all, as it were 
In the script below that would be the French layer. If I run the script without a layer called FRFR of course I get an error. Can anyone help me? The script should ignore the layers not present.
Another question: how can I add this to every page? I’ve only got it running for page 1.
I’m quite ignorant here, but I’m proud I’ve got it figured out as far as I got, so help is much appreciated!
