I am trying to set a multi language website on Typo3.
So far my scripts look like this:
config {
linkVars = L
sys_language_uid = 0
language = de
locale_all = de_DE
htmlTag_langKey = de
sys_language_mode = content_fallback
sys_language_overlay = hideNonTranslated
#// der Paramter L soll durchgereicht werden
linkVars := addToList(L)
#// der Paramter soll eindeutig sein (kein doppeltes Auftreten in einer URL)
uniqueLinkVars = 1
#// content fallback
#sys_language_fallBackOrder = 1,0
#sys_language_mode = content_fallback ; 1,0
#sys_language_overlay = 1
#sys_language_content = 1
}
// Language English
[globalVar = GP:L = 1]
config.linkVars = 1
config.sys_language_uid = 1
config.language = en
config.locale_all = en_UK
config.htmlTag_langKey = en_UK
[global]
And this is under home -> Register "Resources"
mod.SHARED {
defaultLanguageFlag = de.gif
defaultLanguageLabel = Deutsch
}
When I call an url like www.example.com/index.php?id=17&L=1 I see the translated version and that means that it works. Now I would like to bind two flags on the frontend to select a language. Since this is the first time I am working with Typo3, I really don't know what to do. I appreciate any help!
In TYPO3 there's several approaches, i.e. dedicated extensions anyway most common is using HMENU with special = language
You will find samples in many places, especially in official docs, so there's no reason to paste it here:
Most probably TMENU example will be better for you just instead...
NO.stdWrap.setCurrent = ENGLISH || ...
use something like
NO.stdWrap.setCurrent = <img src="/fileadmin/en.png" /> || ...
or style it with CSS if you prefer
NO.stdWrap.setCurrent = <div class="flags en-flag" >English</div> || ...
https://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/sr_language_menu and here's the ready extenion if you prefer
