Magento 2.1.6 language switch doesn't work right

[Wilfred]

Hello all,

We have Magento 2.1.6 installed, together with the "Porto" template and a second (dutch) language pack.the language in the backend(dutch) works fine.

 
Unfortunately, it works not with the language change in the store. On the home page, I can still change the language from Dutch to English Now my English main menu is visible.

So far so good.

If I select something from the page or menu in English it jumps directly to back to the Dutch page, when i am on the dutch page i can  switch back to English and it does translate to Englist that page or item then.

Anyone know what i can do so it starts work the right way : ;-)

Thnx!

Hi, 

I found a solution that worked for me with this porto template, mabey is can help you too this is what i have doen :

In app/design/frontend/Smartwave/porto/Magento_Store/templates/switch/languages.phtml

CHANGE LINE 43 : <a href="<?php echo $_lang->getCurrentUrl(); ?>">

TO : <a href="#" data-post='<?php echo $this->getTargetStorePostData($_lang); ?>'>

Hope that it worked for you too!

succes :-)
