  • Add different language option to the web

    Dear @mauellano

    That a tricky one,
    Its dependent on the Permalink structure of your pages, normally the way a language plugin works:

    You set a 'home' language - it our case english so we reach a page with the permalink :

    example.com/pageabout

    However a language plugin will create a duplicate of each page and assign a language code to the permalink, so:

    example.com/nl/pageabout

    The language switch button makes all links clicked to have this /nl/ ( dutch ) placed in front of the standard permalink redirecting it to the correct language.

    So my thoughts are you first need all the pages of a particular language to have a 'language code'.

    Then you need a piece of jQuery, JS code added that first knows that your language button has been selected - probably via a simple cookie setup

    Then if the browser knows that the button is pressed, it makes a links that are clicked to have your language code place into the permalink - redirecting you.

    Its a tricky one but here are some references if they help you:

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1458724/how-do-i-set-unset-a-cookie-with-jquery

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20475504/onclick-change-url-using-jquery

    https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/89382/creating-custom-permalink-structure-for-languages

    There is possibly a simpler option which is literally having two different website with the same domain - ( one being a subdomain )

    Your main website is standard, then you create a subdomain e.g

    nl.example.com

    ( you can create a subdomain with your domain/hosting provider )

    And the link in the top corner just takes you to a clone of the website but with the different langauge:

    https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/multilingual-wordpress-site-multisite/

    This is how i would go about it, if you don't want a plugin - it is the simpler option.

    If this seems to complicated a task, you may wish to seek the Aid of a developer as this is an interesting one - there is unfortunately a good reason so many of us rely upon language plugins instead of doing the work manually

    I hope this helps & apologies that the answer isn't as simple as may have been hoped

    Best wishes and let me know, Have a great day :)

    Sincerely
    Richard

    Hey @Richard-Keith, thanks for the quick reply! I saw this post before and tbh it doesn't help super much. As I'm not a professional developer it is hard to wrap my head around what is meant in the post. I have basic to mediocre knowledge of HTML and CSS though.

    Hey @Richard-Keith,

    No ;( I changed nothing anymore, stayed by qTranslate-XT now.

    Polylong would be great, but crazy to change everything manual without migration tool. And Polylang sounds complicated in some reports here... want to try it in one of the next projects.

    Would be great to have a good, clean solution for 2 languages, SEO and language switching of the front-page, too.

    Best,
    Markus

    I forgot to add that you have to give the according rows on the site an ID, in this case it is "menu-section". So basically your rows will have to have an ID and CLASS for the effect and anchor to work.

    The only thing that I haven't been able to work out is the situation that on load of the page, all links in the menu will be activated at once. I believe though that this is solvable by including the first header element into the variable ... not sure though.

    EDIT: Just delete the first variable and that's it

    $('nav a').addClass('menu-active')

    Dear @SL

    Ok, sorry that my first option didnt work! :)
    Remove that Custom CSS if you will and on the same Custom CSS & HTML Page but this time in 'custom <head> content add this code:

    <script> window.laytheme.on("newpageshown", function(layoutObj, type, obj){ jQuery(".menu-item-44 font").hover(function(){ jQuery(this).text("Welle"); }, function(){ jQuery(this).text("Teilchen"); }); jQuery(".menu-item-62 font").hover(function(){ jQuery(this).text("Teilchen"); }, function(){ jQuery(this).text("Welle"); }); }); </script>

    Let me know how you go, apologies once again for the delayed response :)

    Best
    Richard

Before you post:
  1. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
  2. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
  3. Disable all Plugins
  4. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"

This often solves issues you might run into

When you post:
  1. Post a link to where the problem is
  2. Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
  3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
