Switching languages with langswitcher

Support Plugins
1

Hello,

Grav: 1.7.41.1
Plugin: langswitcher version 3.1.1 (so the 2015 forum post no longer seems relevant)
Theme: Quark derived (deleting the footer and the GRAV logo)
Modular page

I’m building a multiple language site using langswitcher, languages are en and nl (short names).
Pages are generated correctly, URL has /en and /nl showing the correct content.

What I can’t figure out is how to get a menu on screen (maybe in the menu bar on top) where the user can switch the language.

many thanks for your assistance!

@KlaasHDec,

Didn’t the README of the langswitcher plugin answer this question in the Usage section?

Not in a way I understand…

It is the somewhere in “into your own theme somewhere” that confuses me.

Ha.
So maybe add

{% include 'partials/langswitcher.html.twig' %}
{% include 'partials/langswitcher.hreflang.html.twig' %}

somewhere else perhaps.

Let’s try partials/base.html.twig …

That does give me a switch.

Now to get it in the menu and get to it work…

Thanks for the nudge.
Not yet completely solved but getting there.

Almost. Putting the % includes in the navbar section of partials/base.html.twig

I have the option to switch from /nl to /en, but the /en page does not have the menu to switch back to nl

I have to get rid of the
{% include ‘partials/langswitcher.hreflang.html.twig’ %}

Not sure yet I know why.
Maybe counts as solved anyway.

… almost

I have modified the partials/base.html navbar sectionto show the language selector and deleted the bit with the Grav logo.

So in English, I get the language selection menu without the Grav logo.
In nl, I get the language section menu with the Grav logo.

Any nudging is still most welcom.
