Put on hold multilanguage functionalities
Good morning everyone,
I'd have a question. I correctly set up a multilanguage site with joomla.
However, for one of the 2 languages I don't have content yet.
Is there any way to disable the multilanguage features altogether without messing up the site? I'd wait until I have enough content for the second language, then I'll enable it again.
So I ask: is it enough to unpublish the language switcher module?
Thank you!

Re: Put on hold multilanguage functionalities
I would just unpublish the content languages that are not yet ready:
Go to: Extensions > Language(s) > Content Languages
and Unpublish the languages you do not need.
Go to: Extensions > Language(s) > Content Languages
and Unpublish the languages you do not need.

Re: Put on hold multilanguage functionalities
> is it enough to unpublish the language switcher module?
No.
These are the necessary steps
Set the site offline.
Desactivate the Language Filter plugin.
Unpublish all Langswitcher modules.
Set the Default Home page that was set to the Content language you want to keep to language `All`.
Make sure to unpublish the menu module containing the Default Home menu item to which language "All" was assigned previously.
Unpublish the Content Language you don't want to display for now.
@pe7er
Unpublishing the content language in the making is not enough.
It would have been OK if there had been 3 languages and keeping 2 of them.
In this case we have to make sure the site is temporary set to monolingual.

Re: Put on hold multilanguage functionalities
Thanks guys for your kind reply.
However, I don't why now I got the English menu instead of the Italian one that I want to keep. I don't know why it's retrieving that one.
Thanks a lot, I did that.infograf768 wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2019 9:31 am> is it enough to unpublish the language switcher module?

Re: Put on hold multilanguage functionalities
The Italian menu Default home page menu item (which should be set to "All" languages) and its menu module should be published.
The English one should be unpublished.
Make sure the default site language is set to Italian.

Re: Put on hold multilanguage functionalities
Also, the error may come the template you are using. Test with protostar.

Re: Put on hold multilanguage functionalities
Thank you so much for you answers. Well, it indeed had something to do with the template, but it worked as intended: I had different template styles assigned to different languages and the default style was still the one set for English pages. I set the Style assigned to Italian pages as the default, and that seems to work, for now.infograf768 wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 5:48 amAlso, the error may come the template you are using.

Again many thanks!

Re: Put on hold multilanguage functionalities
@infograf768 should I change all the menu items and articles to ALL as language? I kept Italian, the language I'd want to keep for now, but menu items don't route correctly to the articles.
Thanks,

@artax
Quite impossible to help more without superuser access to your site.
Normally, in this situation, all that was set to en-GB should be unpublished until you are ready again to switch to multilingual.
