Following the directions here scripts.webmastersite.net/w...language-via-link-151.html I noticed that the language is changed BUT it takes us to the index page all that time, whereas the drop down form reloads the current page. The image version is not good if the user came from search engines or decides to change the language after clicking on an inside page; they will instead be transported to the index page regardless.
Can someone please offer a suggestion as to how to do this? Another program of mine does it via <input type=image src="/ by having the same name for the img and langauge and it relaods perfectly since they are loaded as hidden values. I tried to modify it here, but it didn't work. Since this is only part of my site it is important to get it working for consistency reasons.

The dropdown is
<IF {SWITCH_LANGUAGESELECTOR}>so you convert that into a link as<form action="{DIRURL}/index.php?action=setlanguage" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="returnto" value="{CURRENTHTMLURL}">
<select name="languagegroup">{LANGOPTIONS}</select> <input type="submit" value="{LANG_GENERAL_GO}" class="button"></form>
</IF>
{DIRURL}/index.php?action=setlanguage&returnto={CURRENTHTMLURL}&languagegroup=whatevergroupyouwantMember

Hi Paul,
I sent a ticket for this and www.webmastersite.net/forum..._an_IF_statement-7376.html . Apparently I am doing something wrong.
thanks,

Turns out the return url needs encoding and that 4.0.30's code only accepts it from form posts.
<a href="{DIRURL}/index.php?action=setlanguage&returnto=<?php echo urlencode("{CURRENTHTMLURL}"); ?>&languagegroup=English">English</a>will work from 4.0.31.<br><a href="{DIRURL}/index.php?action=setlanguage&returnto=<?php echo urlencode("{CURRENTHTMLURL}"); ?>&languagegroup=Shqip">Shqip</a>
