Thanks for the reply John, apologies for the lengthy post…

Let’s see if I can be clearer, here is the mess I managed to put myself in.

In WP Dashboard appearance\Theme options, I have manage to have the correct language for the required sections using [: Lg] [:] tag and it is reflected in the background image txt when I click my [language switcher menu] just a flag.

in Settings\Languages I have enabled Fr and En and in General mode have the [Use Query Mode (?lang=en). Most SEO unfriendly, not recommended.] Selected.

Default language/ Order is En

In Appearance\Menus, I created 2 identical menu structures with the corresponding translated pages in both Fr and En with En selected as the Primary Menu

With http://heuroconsult.com/?lang=en showing the appearance\Theme options in En
and
With http://heuroconsult.com/?lang=fr showing the appearance\Theme options in Fr

However the menu/submenu only displays in En regardless if I am on the Fr or En site.

Re. the Why my list of pages shows “Languages are not set” in the “Language” column?

It means that there is no translation entered yet. Just start populating the translations and you will see the list of languages populated instead of “Languages are not set”. Until at least one alternative language is populated in the content, all languages show the same text.

The explanation seems to be consistent with my En only language issue, so I did the following several times. Deleted menu in both languages and recreated my menus in both En and Fr.

Deleted menu in both languages

When to All pages/ edit page and selected the appropriate language tab French or English according to language content. Then update

Then recreated En and Fr menus with the appropriate pages with, with the home pages as a custom link with ACCUEIL as home page in Fr with this url http://heuroconsult.com/index.php/fr/
And
HOME as home page in En with this url http://heuroconsult.com/?lang=en

Finally I noticed when in menu edit that when switching from one menu to the other with the selector button for [Select a menu to edit] regardless of my previous update or the menu language selected, the tab with [Flag Language] always defaults to the last saved menu option (if I select Fr menu to edit, then select the [Flag Francais] tab – click save menu.

When I then go to [Select a menu to edit] and choose En, the tab [Flag Language] is now [Flag Francais].

Neither scenarios have an impact on the front end menu display. So is there another way to set the page language?

I’m still muddy on the permalink options?

I did read most of the FAQ as well as searched for previously posted similar Q

Site is: heuroconsult.com

Thanks

So now that I have make some progress… or not really;

in English
http://heuroconsult.com/?page_id=363&lang=en

in French
http://heuroconsult.com/?page_id=363&lang=fr

So far so good for translating

Regardless my pages keep on defaulting to English

I have created and deleted and recreated my menus with the French/English pages all in the appropriate order. But regardless I only get the En menu with English pages.

I have verified that each page language tab is correct (although in all pages view the Languages column still shows [Languages are not set]

The only way that I get my Fr menu to appear is if I set it as primary menu, I feel like I’m going in circles…

Please help

Yes lesson learned

k trying now

Thanks,

found one more in: /public_html/.htaccess

with this content:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Thanks for the quick answer, of course newbie here, I have located my .htaccess file however there is no domain info in it:

# Only allow direct access to specific Web-available files.

# Apache 2.2
<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</IfModule>

# Apache 2.4

</IfModule>
