In projects using multiple languages it is often desired to display a list of available languages for a given page and link to them.
You can get a list of all defined languages for a project from the #global system object:
#global.project.languages
Please note that you should always check if a given language should actually be generated. This check can easily be done using the .shouldGenerate() method on the list entries you get from #global.project.languages.
See the example below on how to render a list of all available languages for the current page and link to them.
<ul id="languages">
$CMS_FOR(language, #global.project.languages)$
$CMS_IF(language.shouldGenerate())$
$CMS_IF(language == #global.language)$
<li class="selected"><a href="$CMS_REF(#global.ref, lang:language.abbreviation.upperCase)$">$CMS_VALUE(language.name)$</a></li>
$CMS_ELSE$
<li><a href="$CMS_REF(#global.ref, lang:language.abbreviation.upperCase)$">$CMS_VALUE(language.name)$</a></li>
$CMS_END_IF$
$CMS_END_IF$
$CMS_END_FOR$
</ul>
Further information on the data type Language can be found in the FirstSpirit API documentation. Details on the system object #global are available in the online documentation.
