Styling the pre-text in joomla language switcher

Post by kimanda » Thu Jul 08, 2021 2:08 pm

Hello Guys.
I have lately been adding joomla multilingual feature, and seached on how to style the pre-text in joomla language switcher the one that says "Please choose your language". But I only found info about how to style the whole module, so I added my styling into the field inside the module and this worked indeed. However there is a problem that the same text applies to all languages, and also I am thinking this maybe overwritten by new joomla updates. So guys I hope someone can tell me what I can do to avoid that . Many thanks in advance

Hi. Joomla update does not overwrite it. But if you use these text fields, you will need to create copies of the module for different languages to make the translation in these fields.

In addition to these fields, what exactly do you want to stylize? Provide a public link to your website and a screenshot of what you want to do

If you create multiple instances of the Language Switcher module make sure that each of the module [instance] is Assigned to its respective language.
