Ohh and by the way you might want to change the value of the option-tags from this:

<option value="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($currentPage/@id)}">

to this:

<option value="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">

Otherwise all of the values will be same as the current page :)

And hen the content of the options must be changed from this:

<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/language"/>

to this:

<xsl:value-of select="language"/>

when you are inside a loop, and want to output anything unique from the nodes, you shall not use $currentPage. If you do so, there'll be output values from the current page where the for-each are being run at.

Hi Kim,

Thanks, now the language selector shows all options (English, Nederlands, Français) witht their respective values (/en.aspx, /nl.aspx and /fr.aspx).

The only thing that does not work seemingly is the Javascript file:

<script language=“JavaScript”>
    function loadPage(list) {
    location.href=list.options[list.selectedIndex].value }
  </script>

If I select an option in the dropdownlist, nothing happens, I suppose there should be a page reload.

The html in my dropdownlist looks like this:

<form><select name="langselection" onchange="loadPage(this.form.elements[0])" target="_parent._top"><option selected="selected">– Please select –</option><option value="/en.aspx">English</option><option value="/nl.aspx">Nederlands</option><option value="/fr.aspx">Français</option></select></form>

Thanks for helping me out,

The problem with the Javascript is solved. It was rather trivial. I copied the Javascript code from Tim's blog, but apparantly the double quotes are not valid:

<script language=“JavaScript”>

function loadPage(list) {

  location.href=list.options[list.selectedIndex].value

}

</script>

So I just replaced the invalid double quotes and now my language selector works perfectly :)

<script language="JavaScript">

Thanks for helping me out Kim,

Anthony

You are very welcome Anthony :)

one question

is it possible to jump to the nearest element if no translation is available

for example:

I got two languages english and german and my structure is like:

en/products/cars/car-one.aspx

but in german there is only:

de/products/cars/ available but not car-one.aspx?

The user should be redirected to the de/products/cars/ and not to the root directory like it is at the moment

Thanks

Can somebody please help?

is working on a reply...
