I love you keep a translation dropdown menu in my sidebar so that from there only visitors can select differen languages. I don't like to change language again n again from admin CP.

I am waiting for some nice help.

Thanks alot.

Edit your theme settings and add Language selector to the sidebar blocks.

For that you also need to activate the Multilanguage module in Site Admin / Plugins.

Nono u don't understand a its coming in sidebar but thing is that all the text that I have written like Title, Keywords, Summary n Description. I have written all that in english only. So, if I change the language then it remains the same n other default text like next page. last page, all the text in the sidebar like add comment, latest comments etc. only translates n what about title n all other custom fields?

I think u got that now.

Yes, I understand.. please follow the link above to read about multilanguage module. There is no support for multilanguage custom fields, just title/summary/description.
