How to make language prefix appear

[Bandolin]

On my site I have the language flag appears, but some of my less than intelligent visitors don't see this as a language switcher. They've been complaining that they don't see a language prefix like EN for English. How to I get both the icon image and the prefix to appear?

Hovering the flag displays the native name of the language already.
Adding a pre-text when creating a switcher module per Content Language, may include in the language something like: "Please choose your language"

Last: an override in your template html folder may change the display to include a visible text next to the flag.

To do the last one, you will have to add in the template html folder:
a mod_languages folder
and in it
an index.html file
a copy of /modules/mod_languages/tmpl/default.php

in which you will change line 35
from

Code: Select all

<?php echo JHtml::_('image', 'mod_languages/'.$language->image.'.gif', $language->title_native, array('title'=>$language->title_native), true);?>

to

Code: Select all

<?php echo JHtml::_('image', 'mod_languages/'.$language->image.'.gif', $language->title_native, array('title'=>$language->title_native), true); echo " ".strtoupper($language->sef);?>
