I need to display 2 languages ​​(Italian and English) on the website
http://www.quadrantefranchising.com
The site is built with version 2.5 of Joomla, which for now does not allow the use of Joomfish, thus leveraging the capabilities of Joomla 2.5 I am able to create menus in 2 languages ​​but I can not see the menu module of the template as of one language, given that in the specifications of the template to the voice menu calls for the insertion of a single menu.
You have a few tricks to suggest?
Thanks

I see only default Joomla! template on your site.

A quick question, because your good tutorial does not deal with this. Financial Business does not have a MODULE position for the mainmenu that I can see. The mainmenu must be set in the TEMPLATE MANAGER.

If I am correct, it is impossible to use the much tutorialed multilanguage steps because in those tutorials we create a menu module for each language, style that module for all pages, and we control its presence and position through the module using the language filter.

But Financial Business does not have this option because you cannot create a corresponding horizontal mainmenu module in extension manager.

Is the ONLY way to work with multilingual sites for THIS template to create (DUPLICATE) as many copies of the template AS there are languages, and assigning each duplicate a specific language?

Or is there a way to create the mainmenu through extension manager as is the norm for most templates?

You don't create different menu modules, you create one menu, set as default it in template settings and then in this menu create ITEMS for languages. Then after changing the language you will see still the same menu but with different menu elements.

Yes. You make ONE menu and you fill it with as many copies of the entire menu system as you have languages. So if you have a web with 80 menu items, and 3 languages, you are looking at a mainmenu of 240 items. This is working.

My point is this is a different way of managing multilanguage sites according to the large number of Joomla tutorials, which all create a default mainmenu-language all, and a separate mainmenu module for each additional language to be published.

I think it's useful to remind people that THIS template can only achieve it your way, and can never be achieved using the joomla documentation on multilanguage site publication.
