To Simply display all language urls of current url use [code] $this->lang_uri->create_links(); [/code]

To add configuration to exclude current Parameters (passed during loading or through initialize function if you are autoloading the library). [code] $config['exclude_current'] = TRUE; $this->lang_uri->initialize($config); $this->lang_uri->create_links(); [/code]

to make the links be ie list items (common use for menus) and assign a class or style in the links [code] $config['link_open_tag'] = '

'; $config['link_close_tag'] = '
