Switching images with language switcher

Post by pambesteder » Sun Jul 31, 2022 2:06 am

Hello

How do I cause images to be switched based upon language?

For instance, an image that says "Click Here" needs to be switched to an image with the correct language when users user the switcher.

How do I do that and how will the system know which image to display??

Thanks
Pam

Have you created that image? How is this image displayed? In an article? Is that article associated to an article in another language?

Yes, I have the images throughout already created with English words on them.

The images are mostly in modules. I have a module with some text and an image.

But if the user uses the switcher to switch to Spanish, how can I tell the system to switch to ones I have uploaded into the same folder but have Spanish writing to display?

You have to associate the English and Spanish modules. When switching languages, the associated module will display with its specific image.
