Multilingual main menu

Hello,

is there any way to use joomla's multilingual support on the main menu which is only selectable through template settings? I want to have the menu in different language when I use Joomla's native language switcher module and plugin.

it's easy. In /templates/gk_coffe/layouts you duplicate default.php adn rename it to default-otherlanguage.php Then you go in admin to Template Manager adnd duplicate gk_coffee style, and asign to each one corespondent default.php useing Basic Settings/Default layout options. Finally, you shoud do proper Menus assignment at each template style, according to languages

home this helps you

I'm trying this way now:

Define a default site template per Content language

If one wants to use different templates styles per Content language, instead of defining for each menu item a different template style, one can assign globally a template style per language when editing it in the Template Manager. This is very handy when one needs to use different headers, logos, etc. for each Content language. It also covers any issue arising from loading a page not linked to any menu item where the default template style would be used, whatever it is.

It works good for me.

Hi

You could have use Jomfish and translate the menus.

Hi,

there's no JoomFish for J1.6 and won't be any soon, so I'm trying out the native J1.6 multilingual support. And it seems to be working quite good.

The standard Joomla language switcher is quite good and should not be any problems with our menu.

I agree. Just too bad that items can't be assigned to each other in different languages, so when changing languages it redirects to the default page only.

Hi

I'm not sure, but Jomfish had something like this. If I remmeber right while translating Jomfish You can set the different link.

Joomfish in not available for J1.6. And native multilingual solution doesn't support this.

Hi

Och sorry. I haven't seen the question is 1.6 related.

You can always add some php script to change the name of the menu which should be used. You will find right files for this in /lib/menu/GKBase.class.php
