Now that my English menu is all configured, and the module matching is also
configured, now I need to create my Italian menu, hook up my articles to that
Italian menu, and configure that module as well.
So I am going to start by going to Menus > Menu Manager > Add New Menu, and this will
be the Italian menu.
So this will be Italian menu,
the Menu Type will be Italianmenu, all one word, and say Save & Close.
As you see here, there is my Italian menu.
I need to add a module here.
So I am going to go ahead and click this link.
This will be the Italian menu, and I am going to Hide that title.
The Position is going to be the same as all of the other menus, and that will be
under Protostar in Navigation position, and the Language for this will be Italian.
Then remember that we have some additional tabs that we need to set here.
Under Basic Options, Show Submenu Items to YES.
Under Advanced Options, the Menu Class Suffix will be Space, nav-pills, and that
will format the navigation bar correctly.
Go ahead and say Save & Close.
Now I'm going to add the menu items to my navigation bar.
So back to Menus, to the Italian Menu > Add New Menu Item, and inside your
Exercise Files, I have given you the names for the links here, and from what
we've been able to research, it looks like the Italians call their Home page
Home, the English word Home.
So we are going to start by linking to an article, just a single article, and
that single Article is going to be, if I select my category of Italian, the one
here with the long title will be the article that we are linking to, and the
Menu Title will be Home.
Make sure that you assign the Language over here to Italian, and set the
Default Page to Yes, because this will become the homepage for the Italian
side of the Web site.
Go ahead and say Save & New, and then we're going to add another menu item that
will be under Articles > Single Article.
The article we are going to link to is the other one, and the Menu Title is
exactly the same, and the Language over here in the side will be Italian, and then
go ahead and say Save & Close.
This just put me back into the English menu here,
but in my dropdown menu, you'll see that I have the Italian menu, with the flag
displayed here, and if I click on this, you'll see that I have two links here
in my Italian menu.
One is the default Italian homepage, and then I have this other page here as well.
If I look on the front-end of the Web site, what I am going to see is
two navigation bars.
I have my English navigation bar here, followed by my Italian navigation bar.
And again, that's because we're in the middle of the process here of putting
together this multilingual Web site.
This is a temporary state, where you are going to have these navigation
bars displaying here. Don't panic.
In the next couple of videos, we are going to install the language switcher,
and that will switch between these navigation bars, and display them at the
proper points in time.
