Language Switcher Block: Not displaying the active language in Drupal 6

Submitted by Albert on Thu, 10/15/2009 - 14:30

Most of our clients have bilingual (French and English) websites. The Language Switcher Block is a great way to switch between languages, but we often don't want to display the active language. For example, on a French-language page, we want to have a link to English (not French and English).

Our solution is to add the following css either to your theme, or, if you are using a contrib or core theme, to css injector. (Messing with a core or contrib theme will cause your changes to be lost during upgrades):

.block-locale .active {
  display: none;
}

This tells the browser not to display the active language.

It's marvelous to be able to post content on the site and especially to be able to make many updates. It's all really a pleasure for me; I believe it's because the website is well thought-out... Thanks again for your advice. (Pascale Bironneau, atelierdecarole.com)

THAT's what I wanted... I did not even know... very happy and impressed up to now. WOW. (Élise Gravel, illustratrice. elisegravel.com)

After the tests, it is working and it's exactly the configuration that I wanted. (Marie-Louise, productionsqualia.com)

I even did more than you recommended. Soon I will become an important computer scientist. (Kouassi Bohui Melaire, reforestation.net)

You really are pros! (M.-H. Verville, monhebdo.ca)
