Display the language switcher in the WP Menu

  • Hi,
    I really love the way to translate of this plugin. I’m using a Divi theme from Elegantthemes and it is really and advantage to be able to translate with the small buttons on A WYSIWYG modus. That way you don’t miss a button.
    I just quit using WPML because it is not compatible the the Divi theme, although they both announce it to be. As soon as you change the design, the content is overwritten from the original language to the others

    However, I miss an apparently simple characteristic of WPML, which is including the language switcher in the WP menu, in as many as you have.
    I need the the language switcher in the secondary menu (top of the header) of https://zahnundvital.ch

    I’d appreciate if you could implement this item

    Thanks for your the good work!

  • Hello,

    I also want to place the switcher on to my menu bar.

    Could someone please help me out on this?

    Thank you.

    Best Regards,
    Jason

    hi,
    did you find a solution to that? i want to use lang flags on the nav menu as well….

    The easiest way is to make a #link menu item called Languages (or whatever you want to call it)

    Then under that EG:
    Languages
    => Espanol
    => Francais

    on each successive #link menu add this to the url /?lang=es or /?lang=fr

    don’nt forget to include the forward slash

    it should then add /?lang=es to the active url and if you have that language turned on then it will swap.

    Make a note of what languages you have on – works fine

    Hi. For me it doesn’t work at the second switch… can someone help me?

    Dont supply much details there eh, guy… what languages do you have on? and… are you using jusy link menus?

    All they need is /?lang=(?) point it at whatever the language you have on…

    Hi there – adding the language links worked fine – thank you very much. However the issue I think Albiji was trying to explain was that if you use the menu drop down – select a language – and then try to change the language again from the drop down menu – the old language is still there. That is to say if I select Chinese from the drop down menu per your instructions – it changes to Chinese and looks great. But if I change it back to English using the drop down – it remains in Chinese language.

    I saw something about this in a post somewhere on the web and I can’t find it now. Someone was able to fix this with a “hook” or something.

    Thank you for your help!

    Same issue here. Putting the links in the menu is easy enough. But going to back to another language is where it hangs.

    Like its trying to translate the URL of the link or something.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Can someone please help as I can’t figure out how to add the language switcher on in the header

    The solution is quite simple (but not really well explained in the thread above;))

    Go to Menu.

    Add Top level menu item as Link with this: ‘#’. Name it Language or in whatever language.

    Sub Level menu items: /?lang=(?) (ONLY – no root URL!) Also for the main language.

    Done!
