Multiple languages shows multiple menus on frontpage

Post by Purshue » Thu Feb 12, 2015 2:46 pm

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a website in Dutch and English. So upon translating the first articles I tried to also create a language selector and English menu etc. I've read the instructions and made sure there were homepages for both languages also as one for all languages (menu default)

Now I've published the modules etc. but it shows a whopping 3 menus on the page and I have no idea what I have done wrong. I'm probably overlooking something simple but I really don't know? This is the link to my website http://wikihelps.us/rebas/index.php/welkom

With kind regards

Hello.
I believe that you have 2 module menu for each menu.
In English menu module goto tab "menu asignment" and select only menu items in English.
Then, in Dutch menu module goto tab "menu asignment" and select only menu items in Dutch.

Thank you very much for your answer. I've now assigned the menu's to their own language pages but now nothing happens anymore? The language selector doesn't work. If I do assign the menus to the default home page I end up with double menus again. I'm so puzzled.. lol http://wikihelps.us/rebas/ I hope I don't look terribly daft. Again thanks for helping and looking into it
