Access language params from config

support
1

I have this in my site config file
[languages.de]
title = "Title"
weight = 2
[languages.de.params]
languagecode = "de"
foo = “bar”

When I try to access the ‘languagecode’ from the template like this
.Site.Language.Params.languagecode
Ι don’t get anything. When debugging it says it with printf it says it is a map.

How can I access my params specific for each language in my template?

It looks correct, which means there must be something else wrong. (which is hard to see without seeing the complete picture).

But also note that

{{ .Site.Language.Lang }}

Should contain “de” in this case.

Thank you bep.

I know about .Site.Language.Lang but I need more custom params

This is the whole config.toml

baseurl = “https://wwww”

theme = “custom”
languageCode = “en-us”

disqusShortname = “”

paginate = 10

[params]
copyright = “Copyright © 2015 - 2017”
date_format = “2006-01-02”
logo = “img/Logo_Img.png”
sponsor_logo = “img/erasmus_plus_logo.png”

[params.carousel]
enable = true

defaultContentLanguage = “en”

[languages]

[languages.en]
weight = 0
[languages.en.params]
languagecode = “en”

[[languages.en.menu.main]]
name = “Project”
url = “/project/”
weight = 0

[[languages.en.menu.main]]
name = “Products”
url = “/products/”
weight = 1

[[languages.en.menu.main]]
name = “Partners”
url = “/partner/”
weight = 2

[[languages.en.menu.main]]
name = “News”
url = “/news/”
weight = 3

[[languages.en.menu.main]]
name = “Contact”
url = “/contact/”
weight = 4

[[languages.en.menu.language]]
name = “German”
url = “/de”
pre = "   "
weight = 0

[[languages.en.menu.language]]
name = “Greek”
url = “/el”
pre = "   "
weight = 1

[[languages.en.menu.language]]
name = “Dutch”
url = “/nl”
pre = "   "
weight = 2

[[languages.en.menu.language]]
name = “Slovak”
url = “/sk”
pre = "   "
weight = 3

[[languages.en.menu.language]]
name = “Slovenian”
url = “/sl”
pre = "   "
weight = 4

[[languages.en.menu.language]]
name = “Spannish”
url = “/es”
pre = "   "
weight = 5

And in my template I do this

<div class="pull-right lang-selector">
    <div class="dropdown">
        <div class="dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenu1" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="true">
            <span class='flag-icon flag-icon-{{ .Site.Language.Params.langcode }}'></span>
            <span class="caret"></span>
        </div>
        <ul class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenu1">
            {{ range .Site.Menus.language }}
                <li><a href="{{ .URL }}">{{ .Pre }}{{ .Name }}</a></li>
            {{ end }}
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>

The .Site.Language.Params.langcode in not working in this case.

Were you able to solve this? I have the same issue.

In my config.json

{"params": 
    "menu": {
		"en": {
			"home": "Home",
			"tour": "Tour",
			"business": "Business",
			"pricing": "Pricing"
		"es": {
			"home": "HOME",
			"tour": "TOUR",
			"business": "BUSINESS",
			"pricing": "PRICING",
		}
	}
    }

And I want to do this:

<a href="/home">{{ .Site.Params.menu.(site language code here).home }}</a>

I’ve tried using

{{ $SiteLang := .Site.Language.Lang }} 
<a href="/home">{{ .Site.Params.menu.$SiteLang.menu }}</a>
