Show full language name instead of ISO code in language switcher (FIVE template)

[seadhna]

Hi, is it possible in the select-box of the language-switcher in the FIVE template, to display the full language names, instead of the 2-letter ISO code? e.g. English instead of EN?

Did you try to change the settings on the language module?

In the FIVE template, the language module is not required. There is a parameter in the Template settings: "Display language selection? Available only if 2 or more languages are published".
This is better because it allows switching languages on tag index pages.

Correct. It needs a change at template level at file five.class.php

Template Five uses an internal language selector and not the module. The template is designed to use the 2 letter language code in order to fit properly on the available space under all circumstances. I advise you not to change it.

However if you want to change here is how to do it.
Open file templates/five/includes/five.class.php
Go to line 353:
$block_lang .= '<option value="'.$lng.'"'.$selected.' data-act="'.$link.'">'.strtoupper($lng)."</option>\n";
And change it to:
$block_lang .= '<option value="'.$lng.'"'.$selected.' data-act="'.$link.'">'.$info['NAME']."</option>\n";

If you want to display the English language names instead of the native ones then instead of $info['NAME'] use $info['NAME_ENG']

Thanks datahell!
