Hi.

I´ve installed several languages and I´ve tried several ways but nothing works with language switcher or language switcher in articles.

Could you give a tip about making it works?

PS: I´ve already activated the plugin, installed language packages, published the module, etc… and no flag or no language title on the dropdown menu

Thanks

Hello raulmvega,

Can you PM me with your site information (your site URL, your site admin account) and your FTP account? So I can diagnose this problem.

BTW, please include this forum thread URL in your PM, so I can follow it.

Best regards.

I already have found the solution. I will paste here the steps that I followed from other threads to get it:

1. Follow this manual http://help.joomla.org/files/EN-GB_multilang_tutorial.pdf
or http://multilingual-joomla-demo.cloudaccess.net/multi-lingual-steps-by-steps

2. In the step 7, follow this steeps:

“Go to Template Manager -> Select the Template you used for your site -> Click on “Profiles”

Created a clone of Default profile say “default-ar”

Changed the Menu Type for this profile to says: mainmenu-ar (name of menu in the language you must create before)

Within the Page Assignments section -> click on Add, and select the Home page from Mainmenu-Ar and set the Profile to default-ar.”

Source: http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/t3-template-allows-only-1-main-menu-in-multi-language-joomla-1-7-installation/

It’s all, good look.

Not working for me.

These tutorials are for new installations without sample data. My Joomla is already installed WITH sample data.

This shouldn´t be a problem for having some languages on the site… :confused:

Also, My template is installed with sample data, even thought is working, you have to follow step by step, and organice all the information for each language. I have to say, that I didn’t associate any menu yet.

All the best.

Thank you for your answer.

But I can´t believe making multilingual sites in Joomla 2.5, people have to so many steps like in these guides.

I´ll keep looking for another way to do it. It should be a easier way
