The language switcher module allows you to take advantage of the language tags that are available when content, modules and menu links are created.
This module displays a list of available Content Languages for switching between them.
When switching languages, it redirects to the Home page defined for the chosen language. Thereafter, the navigation will be the one defined for that language.
The language filter plugin must be enabled for this module to work properly.

Modules are small blocks of content that can be displayed in positions on a web page. The menus on this site are displayed in modules. The core of Joomla! includes 17 separate modules ranging from login to search to random images. Each module has a name that starts mod_ but when it displays it has a title. In the descriptions in this section, the titles are the same as the names.
