Language menu

[SventB]

Can you please add the possibility to disable the language menu with a TypoScript constant, like you can disable e.g. the copyright text?

Can you please add a language menu with flags?

If you agree with me, that this is useful, I could implement this in my fork and you merge this later.

@SventB i´ve talking about this issue several month with different people. We clearly need a better solution for that. But i would like to have a solutions that is a bit more automatic. Like setting the correct sys_language.uids etc without the user have to do anything. Because only changing the names of the flags would not be enough.

We had already talked about extending the language records with needed fields and handle everyting else via userfunction.

What do you think?

Extending with a checkbox like "Show this language in language menu?".

If you have discussed this already with others, I think you don't have to discuss this with me ;) You surely spent more thoughts on this than me.

But... ;) I think a pure TypoScript solution has advantages, e.g. for templating (modify html code a the menu) or for big multilanguage sites (e.g. you have a .com domain with all languages and a .ch domain with fr, it and de).
