 * 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
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fusing-css-javascript-in-wordpress%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * 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://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/multilingual/](https://wordpress.org/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.
