Hi there,

I might be missing something silly, but I have the following issue:

I migrated a clients site from J2.5 to 3+. It had the old Lifestyle template so I replaced it with Lifestyle2. The client has Dutch and English on the site. Like in the old template you set your menu in the template settings. Naturally I can only choose one (this is the same in the old template). So now only the Dutch menu (which I have selected in the template) appears in the menubar. When I click on the English flag the menubar is blank.. What I am doing wrong? There are even two menu modules (UK and NL) on the position "menu", that doesn't help either...

Hope you can help, thanks in advance,
Marijke

Hi Marijke,

Have you double checked this is all still set up correctly?

docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Setup_a_Multilingual_Site

It is a very old site and has always been multilingual. However I have checked it and I can't find anything wrong with those settings.

I have two separate menu's, one for English and one for Dutch. In the template you can only select one. How does the template know to show the English menu, whilst I couldn't select it in the template settings... Is there a setting somewhere that I have missed to make the menubar a module position, so both menu's that are on position "menu" will show depending on the chosen language? In the layout tab it says the module position for the menubar is "menu".

Thanks for your help Paulus!
Kind regards, Marijke

Hi Marijke,

Multi lingual sites are something I don't do very often

I'm assuming you have a backup in place e.g. something like Akeeba backup

If you create different template style and assign that to the respective languages?

In the mega menu configuration, you can choose the menu to load

Cheers

or mega menu option

Ah I missed this step in the set up: www.t3-framework.org/documentation/bs3-customization#multiple-language

So I duplicated the style and then changed the language setting of that style and selected the English menu in te navigation settings.

So fixed, thanks for your help. It was a case of read the f...ing manual.

Kind regards, Marijke
