 * Hello,
 * I decided to help a friend with his hobby webpage. They make weird space music
   and call themselves Andromedans. I figures out how to give the page a custom 
   Alien script font, when you select an Andromedan Page.
 * When they open the website [http://www.andromedans.org/](http://www.andromedans.org/)
   a landing page appears where they are supposed to select the language they want
   to use. As you can see I have linked the “english” Version, but now I am confused
   on how to link the other 2 languages.
 * The posts page for English is: [http://www.andromedans.org/news/](http://www.andromedans.org/news/)
   but how can I display the other languages?
 * Sorry this seems to be a pretty basic question, but I am confused about the plugin
   and am not sure on where to carry on atm.
 * Thanks for reading,
 * Michael

 * Hello,
 * the link to the English Version is the standard link, set under
 * Settings -> Reading -> Front Page -> “Landing Page”

 * This is how you chose to use the “landing Page” as front page. But the content
   of this front page, including the flags and the link, how did you create it? 
   What is your theme?

 * Thanks for reading 🙂
 * The Theme is a standard Artisteer generated Theme. The first page is a static
   front page with disabled sidebar … The flags are just sliced pictures, exported
   from Photoshop.
 * I’d just like to know if there is a way to force a specific language like [http://www.andromedans.org/landing-page/?lang=de](http://www.andromedans.org/landing-page/?lang=de)

 * I fear I don’t now Artisteer…
 * For what I have seen from your site, you have created 3 pages which are translations
   of each other: landing-page, landungseite, landingpageandr. That’s the correct
   way to do.
 * There is also a page news which for some reason I don’t understand is also a 
   translation of landungseite and landingpageandr. I guess you defined this page
   as “page for posts” in settings->reading
 * You should create new pages in German and Andromedann let’s say news-de and news-
   andr and declare them as translations of news (instead of landungseite and landingpageandr).
 * The last point is to affect the flags a link to these two new pages. I guess 
   you can use exactly the same you used to create the linkf for the British flag.

 * It wasn’t so clear when I looked at it, but now I feel a bit silly that I did
   not realize myself. Thanks for clarification on the procedure. You explanation
   helped me resolve this.
