Questions & AnswersCategory: QuestionsMain drop-down menus not working – HELP!!
Michelle asked 8 years ago
Hello, I installed Multilingualizer with no problems and it has been working perfectly until I started to create drop-down menus from my main menu - Multilingualizer works fine in both French and English with the sub-drop-down menus but not the main menu.  For example, I have Everyday Wear
  • Bodysuits - this works fine in both languages
  • Trousers & Leggings - this work fine in both languages
However, once I add the translation 'Everyday Wear..Tous les Jours' to the main menu and add a new navigation menu 'Everyday Wear' with the above links, the appearance of the main menu changes and it appears as a line a downward pointing arrows - no words! I am sorry I have tried to add screenshots so that you can see what I mean but CTRL+V does not work and cannot figure out how to use the 'Insert/Edit Image' function.  I would be more than happy to share my password to access my website (not yet live) in a private communication. I am using Shopify with Responsive theme. Can you help? Michelle

Hey Michelle! You can send screenshots of the code/issue to my private email – [email protected] . OR give admin access there so i can redirect the email to Dave.

Hello,

I’ve sent you an email but until now I have had no reply – please could someone advise? I am hoping to go ‘live’ next week and I really need this fixed. I have been waiting four days now. Thank you in advance

Sorry Michelle, I haven’t gotten any email from you? Could you please send it here carefully and I will have a look – [email protected]

Just sent the email again…hope you receive it this time.

Vas – do you have any feedback?

Vas replied 8 years ago

Looking into your issue and trying to figure out what’s the problem Michelle. Bear with me a while. 🙂

Ok thank you. Just to give further updates;
1. I have added added tabs to my product pages and the translations work perfectly without fault
2. The above described problem has created another issue (on the home page); the content added between the home page slideshow and featured collections,shows the text in both languages whether you choose French or English

I am sure these issues are due to the ‘handles’ in the navigation menu. Are you sure you don’t want my password to access the store admin so you can check the code or something? Or is this a bug? Does anyone else have a similar problem?
Thank you Michelle

Michelle – I wasn’t able to tell what the problem is from the screenshot, we’ll be needing admin access in order to have a look at your website and determine what’s up with the code. Please send it to the same email and I’ll see to it that your issue is taken care of.

The new dropdown you are adding, it has an icon to the right of it so the code looks like this:

<a href="/collections/everyday-wear" >Everyday Wear..Tous les Jours<span class="icon-down-arrow arrow"></span></a>

I know this is code, but it’s so you and others can understand why this isn’t working – the shorthand approach (just 2 dots separating text) only works on fields which have no siblings or children.
In this case, there is a <span> tag sibling.
If you switch to ….Everyday Wear..Tous les Jours…. instead of the shorthand then it should start working fine again.
