    Hi

    I’m in the precess of building my site (I think it’s a wordpress.com since I have a paid subscription with IONOS). I need to know how to swap out menus in wordpress (latest release) using css(& javascript if needed).

    On my website you will see two small flags in the navigation menu – a UK one and a scottish one (the one with the blue cross). When you click on the scottish flag it takes you to the gaelic version of the pages which will (when I find out how) display the nav menu in gaelic. This would be easy to do if I have access to the underlying HTML/Css, but I don’t know how to do this in wordpress (I’ve just started using it to build my site.) So far I can get to the bit from the editor where I could add css but I don’t have enough information on the underlying html elements to do this – I’m completely blind in this respect.

    Thanks for your help, ColinD

    Your website is an individual installation hosted by IONOS. This has nothing to do with wordpress.COM. You only pay IONOS.

    Your request is actually more that you want to have a multilingual website. WordPress itself is not (currently) multilingual. However, there are many plugins that make this possible. You can find examples here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/tags/multilingual/ – there are also commercial plugins such as WPML and Weglot.

    So you need a multilingual plugin for your request. This allows you not only to translate the menu but also to create all content in the different languages. Find a suitable plugin for you and test it out to see if your requirements can be met.

    Editing HTML and CSS will not lead you to a solution here, as WordPress is used as a CMS where you edit data records – not the code. The theme you are using takes care of generating the code based on the data records.
