As the second to last step in the process of making this multilingual Web site,
I'm going to go ahead and create a language switcher module.
This is a module that comes with core Joomla,
and it will allow me to toggle between two languages on the Web site.
So to do that, I'm going to go Extensions > Module Manager, and I'm going to make a
New module, and this is going to be a Language Switcher module.
So I'm going to go and click that, I'm going to give it a Title of Languages
Available, I'm going to Show that Title, and I'm going to put it in the Position
of under protostar; I'm going to put on the right side of the screen.
I'm going to leave the Language to All, and I'm going to say Save & Close. And if
I come back and refresh the homepage, you'll see that my language switcher shows
up here down at the bottom of the page, and I have Italian and English available.
Now, just because this module appears here doesn't mean that it's actually
functioning just yet.
There is one more step in the process, and that is publishing the plug-in that's
associated with the language switcher module.
Once we've done that, we can really test this front-end of the Web site.
If you try clicking on those flags right now, you're going to discover the site
is fairly broken still.
So don't click on the flags just yet. Let's do this last step before we go
give this the test.
