Hello,

I want my site in 2 languages and that the visitors can choose their language by a flag.
How can I make this possible? Or by a selectbox.

The content is written in english & dutch.

Tnxx...

i've installed the i18m module...and actived him.

But where can I see a block with the language choose for my users/guests? Don't see a block...

The block is automatically created by the i18n module. Its called Language Switcher. If its not there, then you don't have all the correct modules activated - you should have the following at a minimum: Block translation, Internationalization, String translation.

Let me put it in this way,

When you create a page...you can select the language. Dutch of English.
Nou I want a language switcher (EN - NL). When english is selected he must show all the pages which have the english language. When dutch is selected, he must show the dutch pages.

Hi.

The modules you've been recommended should do that. You need to make sure your english / dutch versions are "translated" version. Also the content types must be enabled for multilanguage.

Maybe these will help you along some:

It doesn't seem to work for me. I'm using 6.10. The only thing that changes is when I click the chinese language, the title (Home), translates to that language. But that's about it. My content is still in English.
