Add language switcher to menu

  • Hi.
    I have tried to find information about how to add a language switcher to the menu.

    In Appearance->Menues, what is this checkbox option for? “Add one of this for each of your languages”. I don’t understand what it does?

    Is it possible to get all languages via a global variable?

    Hello,

    Actually it will just create and add to menu a custom link with name “language” and empty url. This custom link will be replaced by actual language link in runtime. So if your site have 3 languages, you need 3 custom links like this.

    Is it possible to get all languages via a global variable?

    Yes, the global $sublanguage:

    
global $sublanguage;
$languages = $sublanguage->get_languages(); // return an array of WP_Post objects
foreach ($languages as $language) {
  echo $language->post_title; // -> title of language (Ex: "English")
  echo $language->post_name; // -> slug of language (Ex: "en")
  echo $language->post_content; // -> locale code of language (Ex: "en_US")
  echo $sublanguage->get_translation_link($language); // -> language url for current page
}
