Multilingual website: Is it possible to switch language and stay on the specific page (translated), instead of being redirected to homepage whenever clicking the language switcher

Site URL: https://lifelab.world/

Hello Squarespace experts!

I would like to confirm if it is possible to remain on the same page but different language whenever I click on the language switcher? What usually happens is when I click on the language that I want to choose, it goes to the home page.

 I am on a SS7.0 business plan using Brine- Impact template. 

With the code currently applied which is bradgood's tutorial, here's what happens as an example:

About us page (EN) > Click on the DE language switcher > Redirects to DE home page > then I will proceed/click to .über uns (about us in German)

Is it possible to do this?

About us (EN) > click on DE language switcher > redirects to .über uns (About us in German)

Thank you so much!

Yes, it is! 🙂

You can add some additional script to update the language switcher links according the page currently being viewed.

For example: read the current path such as 'about-us'. Change the EN link to /en/about-us and the DE link to /de/about-us.

There are various ways to do this, some more efficient than others. It should be particularly straightforward to do (probably one line of JS) if the links are written in the same language as my example above, instead of /de/über-uns for the German version.

This is amazing! Thank you so much @paul2009! I'll give my best in trying to do this! *fingers crossed*

Just a quick update! It worked for me. 😁 Thank you again!

Hey there, I installed the code that Brad offers in the link above. But somehow I can't get the multilanguage URL mapping working. Any idea what could have gone wrong? @paul2009? I would appreciate any help!
