**yii2-polyglot** is an application component plus two widgets with flag buttons to choose the application language. It can be used in the [Yii 2.0](https://www.yiiframework.com/ "Yii") PHP Framework.

**yii2-polyglot** was developed as an alternative to other language choosers, which in my opinion are often overly complex.

**yii2-polyglot** lets the user choose her favourite language by clicking on a flag button. The chosen language becomes the site's main language and is stored in a cookie.

A demonstration of **Yii2-polyglot** is [here](http://demo.sjaakpriester.nl/polyglot).
