Language selector was created by Dialogs
Hello!

I recently noticed that the language selector now displays the language twice: once in the current language and a second time in the language of choice. For example, if I am in a French questionnaire, the language selector will display "English - Anglais" for the English option. What is the best way to display, as in the past, only the language according to the second option (e.g. English for Anglais)?

See attached images as examples. 

Thank you.

I don't see why the two languages are a problem. I think it was added as a feature.

Thanks for your quick feedback.

Typically on the web, the language selectors only display the language we want to apply the language change to. Also, the display of two labels lengthens the dropdown list. This is not ideal, especially on mobile.

If this is an option, how can we get back to displaying only one language?

I don't know whether I agree with your "typically" and I don't see how in increases the length of the select element. There are the same number of option elements.

It is not the length but rather the width that is more important... and in some cases problematic (display of "...")

Extend your theme, edit language_changer_top_menu.twig, changing this:

Code:
<!-- Language Changer, top menu version -->
<li class="{{ aSurveyInfo.class.lctli }} dropdown" {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.lctli }} >
  <a class="{{ aSurveyInfo.class.lctla }} dropdown-toggle animate" {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.lctla }} >
 
    {# NOTE:  {{gT( aLCD.aListLang[aLCD.sSelected] )}}: retreives the language name of the selected language and translates it #}
    {{ gT("Language:") }} {{ aLCD.aListLang[aLCD.sSelected] }}
    <span class="{{ aSurveyInfo.class.lctspan }} caret" {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.lctspan }} ></span>
  </a>
 
  <ul class="{{ aSurveyInfo.class.lctdropdown }} dropdown-menu" id="{{ aSurveyInfo.id.lctdropdown }}" {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.lctdropdown }} >
    {# List of available languages.  #}
    {% for value, lang in aLCD.aListLang %}
      <li class="{{ aSurveyInfo.class.lctdropdownli }}" {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.lctdropdownli }}>
        <a href='#' data-limesurvey-lang='{{ value }}' class="{{ aSurveyInfo.class.lctdropdownlia }} animate" {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.lctdropdownlia }}>
          {{gT( lang )}}
        </a>
      </li>
    {% endfor %}
  </ul>
</li>

To this:

Code:
<!-- Language Changer, top menu version -->
<li class="{{ aSurveyInfo.class.lctli }} dropdown" {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.lctli }} >
  <a class="{{ aSurveyInfo.class.lctla }} dropdown-toggle animate" {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.lctla }} >
 
    {# NOTE:  {{gT( aLCD.aListLang[aLCD.sSelected] )}}: retreives the language name of the selected language and translates it #}
    {{ gT("Language:") }} {{ aLCD.aListLang[aLCD.sSelected]|split(' - ')[0] }}
    <span class="{{ aSurveyInfo.class.lctspan }} caret" {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.lctspan }} ></span>
  </a>
 
  <ul class="{{ aSurveyInfo.class.lctdropdown }} dropdown-menu" id="{{ aSurveyInfo.id.lctdropdown }}" {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.lctdropdown }} >
    {# List of available languages.  #}
    {% for value, lang in aLCD.aListLang %}
      <li class="{{ aSurveyInfo.class.lctdropdownli }}" {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.lctdropdownli }}>
        <a href='#' data-limesurvey-lang='{{ value }}' class="{{ aSurveyInfo.class.lctdropdownlia }} animate" {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.lctdropdownlia }}>
          {{gT( lang )|split(' - ')[0]}}
        </a>
      </li>
    {% endfor %}
  </ul>
</li>

Yes, I agree, translations in the them would be a good thing.

However, I thought my solution was fairly clever. :)

Your solution is really clever !

Sure !

But have another array with (if current is french)

'en' => array(
'current' => "Anglais",
'local'=> "English",
'rtl' =>false,
…
);
