I am pretty new in Typo3 world.
I am working on this multilanguage website: http://www.fao.org/investment/investment-policy/investment-policy-support-home/en/ of which I have renovated the home page inserting an HTML module and creating some static content into it. Infact if you try to click on a language that is different from the english, still appear the english version homepage
I have a problem: the website is a multilanguage website but I can't show 3 different home page version (english verion, french version and spanish version).
I have do the following operation:
In the Typo3 backend I have selected my home page and (selecting the Default value for the Language field of the page I have inserted a Plain HTML element in the central columns. Then I have insert my custom HTML code in this module selecting Default value for the Language field of this Plain HTML module
then I have do the same operations for french and spanish version (inserting the right content) selecting the Francais value for the Language field of the page** and selecting*Francais value for the Language field of this Plain HTML module*
But in this way don't work and for any chosen language content appears in English.
Why? Where is the problem? How can I solve?
Tnx
Andrea

I've been building a TYPO3 website. I wanted to use the multi-language capacity of TYPO3 and get acquainted with the CMS. I'm using V.9.5.6 at the moment with the Introduction Package.
I followed the manual on multi-language setup here : https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/guide-frontendlocalization/9.5/en-us/Index.html
When switching languages, the page refreshes but no visible changes occur.
I deleted the original "German" et "Dansk" languages, then added "French" and "German". I used the contact page as proving grounds.
I added translations in germand and french from the original english page I built. There's only a header and a contact form. In english, it reads "contact form". In german and french it should read respectively "Kontaktieren Sie uns" and "Contactez-nous".
The languages UIDs are 2 for German and 3 for French. The template, in the languages section, has "auto" for the list of languages and it pulls correctly the 2 I added, in the correct order.
In a properly setup website, if default language is English, and I click on the "German" or "French" language button at the bottom, the page should refresh and display the content translated in the language I selected and have the selected language in bold at the bottom of the page.
When clicking on the bottom links, it adds the correct L= parameter and the page loads but no visible change occur on the page. Even the language link at the bottom of the page has "Default" in bold instead of whatever I clicked.
There is NO error message when clicking on the language buttons.
I'm pretty sure this is not the standard behavior of a TYPO3 multi-lingual installation. What can cause the CMS to not fetch a translated content OR fail to get the language change information from the parameters passed in the URL ?
I'll try to answer this vague question.
Usually there are three pitfalls you should look at:
realurl (or routes in v9) here is a nice gist: https://gist.github.com/koehlersimon/9dcbabb6b1b2adcbc84db96fd144fb08
TypoScript settings for the languages: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/guide-frontendlocalization/9.5/en-us/TyposcriptConfiguration/Index.html#typoscript-configuration
proper .htaccess in connection with [1.]
I also suggest to update to v 9.5.9
There have been plenty bugfixes since v 9.5.6 and updating within branch 9.5.X is really easy and non-breaking!
Similar to Displaying records from EXT:news in specific language I have a two-language site news and the settings:
sys_language_mode = strict
sys_language_overlay = 0
In the second language (en), the ext:news plugin should display news that have been regularly translated, but also english "orphans" that don't exist in the main language (de).
While this works for text, the images aren't displayed in the frontend.
They do appear in the backend, but as there is no original in the main language, I don't get the localisation buttons for the media files.
How can images be displayed for english "orphan" news?
Try EXT: repair_translation
i have a Problem regarding TYPO3 and the extension tt_news.
I have a multilingual Site with 2 Languages, english and german. The news on the site are generatet by the extension tt_news - everything is working fine except one thing:
When i put an internal direct link in the news body, the language parameter is lost. So when the user klicks on the Link, it always comes back to the default language. How can i make TYPO3 generate the links with the selected language parameter, or how can i add them?
I need to create a website with two languages one with English and German. I'm not aware of TYPO3 scripts.
As I studied different references I saw this one and tried to work out.
But I'm not able to use it because their is no language bar in top of my TYPO3 back end. Also when i tried to add language in drop down of edit page and add content page it shows only 'Default' in the list.
How can make a website with different language switching in front end?
thanks in advance
The "List"-Module (on the left) is your friend:
chose the list module and afterwards your rootpage in the pagetree (PID = 0).
In the content section in the right upper bar you can "create a new record".
Chose "Website language" and fill in the wanted properties and values...
Afterwards you will find the dropdown to create a page translation in the newly added language...
On my site where Danish is default language and English is second language, I have a PowerMail form.
But the error messages at mandatory fields will only show in default language, Danish.
Why?
if i'm not mistaken, the lang files for powermail errors comes from the jquery validation language file.
So, probably this file is not loaded.
Not an answer, but could give you a clue
