Setting Language via Link

If you have more than one language installed, the most appropriate language will be selected for site viewer's based on the language their web browser reports. This isn't always accurate/ideal though, so the user needs a manual override. If the language selector is switched on at Admin -> Settings -> Switches, users can select a language from a dropdown selector -- if the switch is off, they can only select their language in their profile.

Sometimes you may want to replace the language selector with a set of text or graphical hyperlinks. Here's an example of how to do that:
<a href="index.php?action=setlanguage&returnto={CURRENTURLENCODED}&languagegroup=English">English</a> <a href="index.php?action=setlanguage&returnto={CURRENTURLENCODED}&languagegroup=Spanish">Spanish</a>

To use national flag images, place this HTML in your template (presumably the wrapper) where you want it, perhaps in the spot currently occupied by the language selector:

Repeat for each language you have.
