    Hi,

    When displaying just text in the language selector is there anyway to display just the language name not the region

    ie: Show 'English' instead of 'English (US)'. 

    There used to be a module Apollo Language Selector that could do this but that does not seem available anymore

    Thanks in advance for any help given

    Tony

          Hi Timo,

          Unfortunatly none of those tokens work they way I want. They show the region like 'English (Canada)'

            Hi Sebasation,

            I had tried registering on that site yesterday to download the object, unfortunatly the registration does not seem to work. I have contacted them to ask for help

            I could create my own object if I knew how to get the different urls of a page for each language...any pointers ?

            Regards

            Tony

              Tony,
              if you want to create the Language Selector SKO yourself, you should start with the skin object inside DNN Platform, rename and extend it according th your needs.

                Hmm, right.
                I think that needs to be added to the core then.
                A quick and dirty solution would be:

                < span class="[CULTURE:TWOLETTERISOCODE]">< /span>

                CSS:

                .EN:after{
                content:English;

                }
