How to enable language selector?

Post by Everhard » Sun Mar 23, 2025 1:41 pm

Im about to have a meltdown here, im trying to do something as simple as to get joomla 4 installation to show a dropdown with the two languages I have installed (DA and EN).

I added the language selector module to my page, but all it does is provide a text saying "Select your language" and nothing else, nothing to select or click at all. :'(

All I need it to do, is make it so when ppl go to the site and use the shop (Hikashop) they can select English and have the shop displayed in english rather than Danish.

I found other threads where ppl had similar issues, but I didnt find any solution to my problem thru those.

At some point I read that youre supposed to add another menu? Seems odd as it should just replace everything from the language file, otherwise if I have to basically rebuild everything for every langauge, whats the point of having multilanguage support to begin with?
