Hi,

Actually resolved it like this… but your suggestions got me there! I now have a floating “EN” that is at the top-right of the page.

in style.css, added:

.header_button {
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
top: -160px;
z-index: 99;
}

then in the header.php of the German site, we added:

<div style="float:right;" class="header_button"><a href="<?php $Path=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; echo 'https://www.xxx.ch'.$Path; ?>"><span style="color: #ff6600;">EN</span></a></div>

The English would be the same but refer to https://www.xxx-de.ch.

Ah ha… that looks promising. Thank you. I’ll have a go and will let you know.

Thank you once again.

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for the tip.

Actually, the menu across the top of each page/post, on the English site is:

Our Story | Courses | Register | Trainers | DE

Then the German site is:

Unsere Geschichte | Kurse | Registieren | Dozente | EN

So the event is a click on the menu item, not on a locale language setting.

Is the challenge getting clearer?

That is correct. They are separate databases – in fact completely separate installations.

The menu (that goes across the page) is the same on all pages/posts. Currently around 40.

The point is this: When I add a page to the English site, I then copy it and create the same page, but in German, on the german site.

eg We add a page called “read-all-about-it” to both sites:

https://www.mysite.ch/read-all-about-it
https://www.mysite-de.ch/read-all-about-it

The menu should not have to change. When the menu “DE” or “EN” is pressed the code should simply take the URL of the current page and add “-de” or remove “-de” respectively.
