Location menu not correct in multiple language

Post by liekecomp2022 » Fri Dec 15, 2023 3:43 pm

I have tried several possibilities, but I cannot get the location of the Dutch and German menu at the top in the middle just as the English menu:

See: https://ontwikkel11.comp-it-aut.nl/index.php/en/
https://ontwikkel11.comp-it-aut.nl/index.php/de/
https://ontwikkel11.comp-it-aut.nl/index.php/nl/

When I depublish the dutch and the german menu modules, no menu items will appear at all.

The English menu works fine.

But the default menu starts with the English menu, but I want the default menu to start with the dutch menu.

Can someone help me?
I cannot find the solution on the internet.

AND

I want to change the German flag into the indonesian flag and the https://ontwikkel11.comp-it-aut.nl/index.php/de/ to become https://ontwikkel11.comp-it-aut.nl/index.php/id/
This because the Indonesian language is not available yet in Joomla 4.

Where can I do this? The css?

Set the default menu item to the Dutch version of the home page. And make sure the Dutch menu module is set to show on the Dutch menu/items

When I set the main menu home menu item to the dutch language instead of "all" I get an error:

Opslaan mislukt met de volgende fout: De taalparameter voor dit menu-item moet ingesteld zijn op 'Alle'. Tenminste één standaard menu-item dient op alle talen ingesteld te zijn, zelfs als de website meertalig is.

So I cannot change the main menu ?

The dutch menu item home is already the start page.


See attachment.

What do I not correct?

I did not say set to Dutch language.
I said "Set the default menu item to the Dutch version of the home page". In other words the Article that is in Dutch.
Also set the menu modules (for each menu) to show with the relevant menus/menu items

Í am not using articles but sp page builder for all my pages.

I have assigned the default Main menu to the dutch welkom page. The language of this page is Dutch.

I only see the English menu:

https://ontwikkel11.comp-it-aut.nl/index.php/en/

This menu works fine and the layout is oke!

But when I press of the Dutch of German flag I get no menu at all.

There is still a problem with the language switch?

Please help...

https://ontwikkel11.comp-it-aut.nl/index.php/de/ and https://ontwikkel11.comp-it-aut.nl/index.php/nl/ pages are not assigned to your the German and Dutch menus. Perhaps https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Setup_a_Mu ... ting_menus might help (can't find docs for J5)

The Default menu item is not used on a Multi Language Site. You shall have a Default for each Language marked with a flag.

Does the Language Status Administration Module show any discrepancies?

Is the Language Filter Plugin Enabled?
