How to set up a multi-language website? (URGENT)

Site URL: https://www.redfx.co/

Hello to all of you!!

I've been trying to create a professional multi-language (English and French, to be more precise) website for the past 3 weeks and I've always seem to encounter  a problem. 

I've read all the posts that I could find in the forum, related to this issue but none seem to fully work for my website. The only code that did managed to work was the one from this page: https://www.bradgood.net/articles/multi-language-content-on-any-squarespace-template BUT it only worked for a couple of days until it abruptly stopped with no explanation. 

I tried deleting the entire code and reapply it but now I get "syntax error" each time… I've deleted it.

I've tried these methods too and none work:

• https://kerstinmartin.com/blog/css-solution-for-bilingual-squarespace-website
• https://www.creationsbyfaria.com/blog/multilingual-site-squarespace
• https://beaverhero.com/squarespace-2-languages/

Can someone please help me out? 

Thank you for the attention!

It seems to be working now?

Hello, 

No, it's not working. 

I've added a cover page and added buttons linked to both English and French homepages, but once you select the language, it show both english and french pages at the same time. 

It was supposed to show the pages of the same language in the navigation and hide the other pages. 

I'm not sure if I expressed myself correctly, I apologize if its not the case!

Squarespace have been making a lot of unannounced changes lately, and these can affect custom code. However, it will be difficult to troubleshoot if you've removed the code. Can you add it again and let us take a look? If you have any screenshots of the errors (alongside the code) this may also help.

Hi, 

I've added the code back! This time it doesn't show any syntax error. The language switcher appeared up in the right, which is good, but in the navigation there still is all the pages shown, regardless of the language selected

Can you take a look?

It worked! 

Thank you so much!!

Can you give me a code to better custom the "Sign Up/Login" button as well as another one to replace the "EN and FR" with the flags of UK and France? It would be great!

See step 5a in Brad's guide. He provides a solution here. That said, I only recommend using flags if you are specifically targeting customers in the UK and France. If you want to target customers anywhere who speak English or French, it's better to keep the EN and FR. See my old post on this subject.

OK, I'll do so. 

Thank you again. This already helped a lot!!
