# Module switch_lang

This ((Module)) allows visitors to change the language of the Tiki site interface (menus, module titles, and so on.). The ((Module switch_lang2|switch_lang2 module)) also provides a way to change the interface language.

## Parameters

{PLUGINMANAGER(module=switch_lang) /}

## Usage

You will see it listed at ""Admin > Modules > Assign new module > Module Name (drop down)" (**tiki-admin_modules.php**).

You can assign a this ((Module)) to a lateral column (See ((Module Admin)) page if needed), or you can include it within a wiki page, using the ((PluginModule)).

You can also include the module in a wiki page by using: 
{CODE(wrap=>1)}
{MODULE(module=>switch_lang, title=TITLE, flip=>y|n, nobox=>y|n, decorations=y|n)}{MODULE}
{CODE}

Where:

- title: The title of the module box. The default is **Language**
- flip: 
    This option requires that **nobox** = **n**.
- nobox: If **y**, do *not* draw a box around the module. The default is **n** (a box *will* be drawn). 
    This option requires that **decorations** = **y**.
- decorations: If **n**, the **flip** and **nobox** options will be ignored. The default is **y**.



The assigned module looks like this:

{CENTER()}{img src="img/wiki_up/switch_lang.png" alt="The switch_lang module"}{CENTER}

The list of available languages is determined by the language files currently installed in your **lang** directory: 

{DIV(style='text-align: center')} {img src="img/wiki_up/lang_folder.png" alt="Language files in the LANG folder."} {DIV}
