Once the extension is installed, simply modify your application configuration as follows:

```
return [

        'lang' => [
            'class' => 'harlangray\language\Language',

You must define available languages in `Yii::$app->params['languages']` as code => language in the config/params.php

In your menu "items"

EX: echo Nav::widget(\[ 'options' => \['class' => 'navbar-nav navbar-right'\], 'items' => \[ \['label' => 'Home', 'url' => \['/site/index'\]\], ........ ......... ........ Yii::$app->lang->getMenuItems() \],
\]); NavBar::end();
