Displaying custom page menus

You really need to use a plugin to do the language switching. There are so many things to consider and the plugin authors have generally thought of them all.

The themesandco site has a guide to setting up a multilingual sit in Customizr.

Then for the plugins: qTranslate is fully supported by Customizr. Polylang is partially supported and I’m about to write up some work I’ve been doing on making the support more robust.

I prefer Polylang because it uses a separate page for each language (as you have your site now) and delivers the correct one to the browser. You simply tell it which pages are equivalent in each language. qTranslate, on the other hand, puts all the languages together on one page and deliver the part of the page with the correct language to the browser.

Watch the snippets on themesandco for the Polylang snippet, which should be posted in the next week or so.

If you decide on qTranslate, check out the snippets for putting qTranslate flags in the header of your site.

The Customizr-Polylang snippet is now live.
