Organise a dropdown menu for a multilingual page

Hi everyone,

I am setting up a simple homepage for a Swiss association. It's very common to have four-language-sites here. On our railway site https://www.sbb.ch/en you find a switch on top where you chose your language and the hole page turns into the desired language. That's what I am trying to build up but I didn't find a way. I built up a folder structure (screenshot 01). It leads to a menu showing the language options but having lost the menu options (screenshot 02). That's very confusing. I know Weglot is the solution. But it's very expansive and coasts more than my Squarespace page. So, I was wondering if there way any way how to set up a page in one language with a rider on top to change for another set of the page. Any help appreciated.

Thanks Peter

Have a look at this method:
