Language switcher not showing
Hi,
I'm currently running my site on Joomla 3.8.3 with two content languages installed (finnish and English).
I have placed a Language Switcher module but only the title is showing. Why?
Please help.
Thank you in advance,
Topi

Have you set your site as a multilingual site?

Re: Language switcher not showing
Please display the Multilangstatus administrator module to see the possible errors.
First publish it then click on it to get the Popup, take a screenshot and post here.

Hi,
Thank you for the tip.
Attached you'll find my multilanguage status. It is displaying an error about the defualt home pages but this should not result in the language switcher not showing, right?

It will show after you have corrected the default menu items condition.

Hi,
Thanks for the support!
The problem was I did not understand what the "Published default home pages" really meant.
After creating a menu (with default home page) for the default language (Finnish) it worked
