This module displays a list of available languages ​​(as defined and published in the content tab of the language manager) for switching between them when someone wants to use Joomla as a multilingual site.
The System - Language Filter plugin must be enabled.
When switching languages ​​and if the menu item displaying the page is not associated with another menu item, the module is redirected to the home page defined for the selected language.
Otherwise, if a parameter is set for a language filter plugin, it will redirect to the corresponding menu item in the selected language. After that, the navigation will be the one that is defined for this language.
If the plugin "System - Language Filter" is disabled, it may have unwanted results.
Method:
1. Open the Language Manager Content tab and verify that the languages ​​you want to use in your content are published and have a language code for the URL and a prefix for the image used when displaying the module.
2. Create a home page by assigning a language to the menu item and defining it as the default home page for each language in the published content.
3. After that, you can assign a language to any article, category, module, news feed, web links in Joomla.
4. Make sure the module is published and the plugin is enabled.
5. When using linked menu items, make sure the module appears on the appropriate pages.
6. How flags or language names are displayed is determined by the order in Language Manager - Content Languages.

After the module is published, it is suggested to publish the module of the multilingual administrator status.
