Hi Vanya,

What is it?
Anyway, you can build the same with our componentes.

Best Regards.

Here is better demo.

http://ixtendo.com/demo/polyglot-language-switcher-2/jquery-demo.html

I just did complete translation of my intraweb app to several languages with dxgettext and needed nice way of switching language at runtime - with as little code as possible.

hi,
As Alexander said it is really easy to do with tcomboboxex or dropdown .
in the following example both flag and names are extracted from database , is this what you want to do ?

Hi,

I support over 20 languages, so I would prefer more columns option (see the second link I posted).
And yes, I did it just like you show with combobox, but it would be definitely easier to drop an existing component and set few options :)
I did not bother with flags....

I agree with you partially , but purpose of components is not to cover all the needs but to be able to fullfill them .

just by curiosity how do you handle the translations (not technically ) ? do you have a team for that ?

I can translate 7 languages myself and the rest with bing, google translate and wikipedia :)
For start it is OK... I dont have too many strings in UI and for database translations I made a tool using attributes.
