Hi all

First of all congrats for the templates, great work,!

But I encountered one difficulty: How can I install a multi language website with the Shenandoah template? The point of resistance are the menu options in the template settings. As far as I understand it one needs to set there the menu that should be displayed on the website as the menu is not placed by the usual module place holder. But I have two menus, one for each language. I could fuse them into one but then the language switcher from Joomla does not work anymore.
I found a tutorial that shows some additional options for this in the template settings but Shenandoah doesn't seem to have them.

What am I missing?

Thanks for your help

Hello,

That is correct you would have two menus and the menu will automatically switch when the user selects their language using the Joomla language module.

As a side note, if this is a new site and you are able I would highly suggest using a different template. This template still works and it's still supported but it's a much older template that is not built on our Vertex framework which has a lot more options. It is also not a responsive template so it won't function well on mobile devices. Corporate Response has a very similar look to this template if you are interested in that one.

Hi

Thanks for the tipp, I switched the template. I followed it and found the language menu settings in the template section. I followed the instructions of a youtube video of you but the language switcher doesn't  show up. Where would that be?
And do I understand that correctly: I don't have to publish the built-in language switcher module, the template has this functionality included?

Kindly,
Lorenz
 

Hello,

The template doesn't control any part of that. The language switcher is a module that you must publish after you setup your languages. The template does not have a built in function for language control.
