Multilingual site with 3 menu sets. Menu's only show for one language

oliviertoebosch

Hello, I'm a bit in despair...I've created a site based on purity IV (joomla 5). It has multilingual content, so menu's, articles are are made for every language. My first language set showed perfectly. But once I used the language switcher, the menu dissapears at the top of the page. Association are made (but to no avail). I noticed that when I in the purity site template style, I can only save one menu group to the navigation. And menu's are only shown in that language. Best regards, Olivier
Not sure what to do here. I tried to duplicate the navigation but it doesn't make a difference (one per language). Did I miss something essential but simple? Is Purity multi lingual?

OK,
Found a solution but I don't know if it is THE solution
Duplicate the template for every used language and pair every language with the navigation menu
Not what I expected but this works

Hi Olivier,

The same with the process of creating content / modules ... in a multilingual Joomla site, you need to duplicate template styles and set default style for each language.

Here are steps that you can follow:
1/ Create menu for each language (it seems you did it already)
2/ Duplicate template style for each language
3/ Under Navigation settings of each language, clone the default navigation profile and assign associated menu of that language to this profile:

For example, you have 1 template style for English >> duplicate the default profile to have a new one: default-en then assign the menu-en menu to this profile.

It will work.
