In content Languages in joomfish language manager I have 3 language, en, ru and ro, by default is set ro, active is all.

Go to administrtor -> Select Extensions → Language Manager from the
drop-down menu on the back-end of your Joomla! installation or click
the icon Language in the control center.

I have a webpage with 3 languages.
The multi languages status shows all is fine.
When I am logged into the front end as superuser the language switcher works like a charm.
But when I log off and visit the page as public, the language switcher works only in a menue where I have a JSN UniForm for all languages if I unpublish it, the language switcher does not work either.
But I cannot see a difference in the settings.
I can access the correct language by changing the url to the specific language and the correct pages are displayed.
We are using Joomla 3.6.4, and the template JSN Air Pro.
Update:
I realized I did not describe the problem correctly:
When I am on the English page the language switcher is shown, but it does not show the other languages. So ti is not possible to change the language via the language switcher.
All three languages are installed and published.
Do you have any suggestions what setting I need to change?
Go to your module (Language Switcher) set Access -> public, now you can see module in front end as a public.
I have two menus: English and Swedish. When I set English homepage to language All then the Language Switcher module is not displaying UK flag, only Swedish appears. In this case breadcrumbs works.
If I set English homepage to language English (UK) then Language Switcher module shows both flags BUT breadcrumbs is not working correctly? How to fix it?
In order to make a joomla multilingual site work properly you have to set up 3 menus with one default homepage to each.
The first one will be language independent (homepage language "All").
The second menu will be for first language (homepage language "English").
The third one for second language (homepage language "Swedish").
The default language would be set from Extensions -> Language Manager
I make site in joomla multi language - serbian and english.
I am using joomla 3.3.3 and joomla built in support for multi language.
But i want to set up that always serbian be default language.
So that always when user go to my site to be on serbian by default.
How to do that?
Thank you.
You have to set your default language at:
Extensions -> Language Manager -> Installed - Site
You also have to add all languages that will exist to your site at:
Extensions -> Language Manager -> Content
Please check also "Language Filter" plugin setting "Language Selection for new Visitors" to be "Site Language" instead of "Browser Settings"
You just have to choose your default language in Extensions -> Language Manager ...
If you dont see both English and Serbian there, you will have to install the missing one from Extensions -> Extension Manager and Install Languages (left)
I'm trying to make the language switcher to work, I have already made all menus for each language I was gonna use, but when I enable this module, It just shows me the name of the module(when I put it to show), not the flags. What should i do?
I lost a full day of my life with this topic.
The issue was that language tag was badly setup in System -> Language Manager -> Content
For example for French I had fr when it should have been fr-FR
After that I had to rebuild/redo all the Language assignments for French on Pages, categories, menus, template.
The flag finally showed up...
It's an old question but, telling from the comments, a recurring problem. Seems like there can be multiple root causes. One thing to check is also that you have marked the default menu item for each language. If not, the corresponding language does not show in the language switcher.
Found that You need to set a default homepage that can be in hidden menu (and redirect from later) to Language "All"
But then also go to each menu and make the page 1 language and also Homepage.
So for me I have now 3 language homepages menu items. All, En, De
How did I discover this:
I needed to turn on a module in the Admin:
Language Status Administrator Module
This makes a small button bottom left in the Admin, and modal points out 3 different topic per language installed, told me I had not any homepages, and so would get no flags. (Thanks to Per on Joomla forum answer from 2016)
Happy fixing.
you need to set up the languages in the Language Manager? under extensions..
and make sure you published the "System - Language Filter" plugin.
Plugins -> System - Language Filter -> Automatic Language Change -> No
This will prevent automatic language changin which is often reason for this
I have a multilingual website (spanish and english) using Joomla 2.5.7. I want to force the default languague to spanish regardless of the default browser languague on the visitor's computer.
I already checked Extensions -> Language Manager and marke Spanish the default. But it keeps showing in english even after I clear the browser cache.
I also checked Extensions -> Language Manager Content tab and put spanish first without luck.
What I'm missing?
Thanks!
Ok, the solution was:
Extensions -> Plug In Manager then search for System - Language Filter and under Basic Options change Language Selection for new Visitors accordingly
Hope this helps someone else
