[Typo3] Language menu: text instead of graphics

[André Rosendaal]

Hello Carla ,

Thanks. Your code is very useful as a starter, but unfortunately needs some 
modification. It displays all links to select a language with the same 
anchor, namely the value of temp.languageselect.value, instead of a unique 
value for each of the languages.

Thus I see:
english
english
english
english

and not:
english
french
dutch
german

This is not visible on your website, because you hide the active link

I am fairly new to TS, tried to find a solution but could not think of one. 
If you look at the graphical version of a language menu, you can simply 
enter a king of 'image array':

file = media/flags/flag_uk.gif || media/flags/flag_fr.gif || 
media/flags/flag_es.gif

You would want something like that for the text menu as well. Or some other 
way to define an anchor text depending on which item of the language menu is 
created. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks,
André Rosendaal
