Language pulldown menu isn't updating cookie

Actually, the more I think about what I am wanting to do, the more I realize the easier answer is likely how do I have the language extensions in the dropdown urls?

ie: for spanish….www.website.com/es/ etc

Hello,

I’m not entirely sure if I understand correctly what do you intend to do.

how do I have the language extensions in the dropdown

I believe you’d like the drop down to have links to open URLs instead of performing the translations without reloading the page.

If so, that feature is not available in the plugin. If you have enabled the SEO settings and you’re using Pre path as URL modification mode, the URLs will have that form:

/es/
/fr/

And so on. But this is a feature only for search engines and it’s not intended to be used on the front end by visitors.

going to https://www.website.com and clicking on the pulldown option for gr does NOT set the cookie.

Clicking on a language from the drop down will set that cookie. If it doesn’t set it, check the following setting (enabled by default):

General > Interface > Remember the selected language for auto-translate

That rememeber the selected language for auto-translate does exactly what I need, thank you.

The functionality I am trying to incorporate involves pdfs…when someone goes to a particular language we have pdf catalogs in that language, I’m trying to have the page change to display the appropriate pdf.

Since the code is obfuscated (which I can appreciate), I plan on using the cookie settings to help me with this.

Thank you again for your speedy reply and excellent plugin.

Have a great week!

Glad to know the answer is useful for you, and thanks for closing the support thread.

Know that you can show or hide different content depending on the selected language.

There’s a shortcode, you can use it with a graphic interface whenever you see the rich content editor, for instance, if you create/edit a page/post, for instance: /wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=page, you’ll see a Prisna Translate drop down with a few settings to show or hide the selected content, check it out.

You should also notice that whenever a translation is made, the main body tag gets a new style class assigned, which contains the language code, so you could also show or hide your content defining CSS rules using these class names.
