Hi I am creating a multilingual website on Jomsocial. I have done the prelim steps and I had the flags representing the languages appear on the screen. When I changed to socialize template, the flags have disappeared. Please advise on solution.
Secondly, can I find an article with step by step instruction on creating a multilingual jomsocial site.
thirdly, I mistakenly put another support website for socialize template. Kindly help me sort it out to coincide with the support website for jomsocial and adagency.
Hi.
2. JomSocial will follow Joomla! settings to be in multilingual mode. The only additional step is to translate toolbar:
documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Translate_Toolbar
3. Create domain change request topic here:

Hi Just a quick question.
I have gone through the documentation for translating the toolbar and I assume that after that the translation will be permanent (of course unless you undo it). If i click on the Spanish flag for my site will it give the Spanish translation of the toolbar and when I click the UK flag, will it render the English translation?
HI.
Yes. If you use language constants in JomSocial toolbar menu, translation will be applied automatically upon language change.
Remember this will only work for JomSocial toolbar menu displayed inside JomSocial component area. If you will try to display it bia menu module in some module position, automatic translation will not work.
Hi
I am still unable to translate the toolbar or rather the translation is not working with the toolbar for socialize template. It works if I change it to protostar but in socialize it just displays the constant.
Hi, CHIBUZO.
It's because you treated a JomSocial toolbar menu as ordinary menu and assigned to module position. Automatic translation from constants will not work here. In Socialize template by default JomSocial toolbar in man content area is disabled.
Please, follow this instruction.
- un-assign JomSocial toolbar menu from any module position (or menu module)
- delete toolbar.index.php file in ROOT/templates/socialize/html/com_community
This will bring back JomSocial toolbar menu in main component area
