When do I need this extension? ------------------------------ [](#when-do-i-need-this-extension) Big instances with multiple page trees and loads of languages per tree might bring trouble when allowing to link to a page in a different language. The simplest way would be to link to the login page in a different language, with an automatic redirect. However the real strength of this extension pays off when having multiple page trees with different languages to link to a properly available news. The extension shows a specific button for each language that is available for this page, when linking an image, or linking a text in the Rich Text Editor. The language selection is always enabled when the extension is installed, no configuration needed. Linking to "free mode" content elements --------------------------------------- [](#linking-to-free-mode-content-elements) In addition, linking to a specific content elements which are in a specific language is also possible in the link picker for pages. Menu entries pointing to a page in a specific language (TYPO3 v14+) ------------------------------------------------------------------- [](#menu-entries-pointing-to-a-page-in-a-specific-language-typo3-v14) Since TYPO3 v14, the page type "Link" (formerly "External URL") supports any link that can be created via the link wizard (see TYPO3 core feature [\#17406](https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-core/main/en-us/Changelog/14.0/Feature-17406-EnhancePageTypeLinkToFullySupportTypolinks.html)). Combined with this extension, this allows menu entries that always point to a specific language of a target page: Create a page of type "Link", open the link wizard for its target, and use the language button of the target page (e.g. "English"). TYPO3 then renders the menu entry as a link to the English version of the target page, regardless of the language the visitor is currently browsing in — useful e.g. for footer links to pages that are only available in some of the site's languages. How to install this extension? ------------------------------ [](#how-to-install-this-extension) Use `composer req b13/link2language` or install it via TYPO3's Extension Manager from the [TYPO3 Extension Repository](https://extensions.typo3.org) using the extension key `link2language`.
