Language Switching Button – Other Language only

I searched far and wide for a easy way to create a language switching button / link to the language not being currently used. After finding some sample ways to do it I came up with this. Hope this helps someone.

Essentially this will create a link to the alternate language on any page and allow you to limit the anchor text to show as many letters as you like for a language.

function my_qtranxf_generateLanguageSelectCode($style='', $id='', $lettersToKeep=3) {
    ob_start();
    qtranxf_generateLanguageSelectCode($style, $id);
    $o = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();

    $dom = new DOMDocument();
    $dom->loadHTML($o);
    $nodes = $dom->getElementsByTagName("a");
    $link = "<a";
    foreach($nodes as $searchNodes){

        if(qtrans_getLanguage() != $searchNodes->getAttribute("hreflang")){
            $link .= " href='" . $searchNodes->getAttribute("href") . "'";
            $link .= " hreflang='" . $searchNodes->getAttribute("hreflang") . "'";
            $link .= " title='" . $searchNodes->getAttribute("title") . "'";
            $link .= " class='" . $searchNodes->getAttribute("class") . "'";
            $link .= " >";
            $link .= substr($searchNodes->nodeValue, 0, $lettersToKeep);
        }
    }
    $link .= "</a>";
    return $link;
}
