Link to translation of an article

It depends on your exact needs.
Do you have different SiteAccesses for every language and want to put a link to between them remaining on the same content in the other language?
Or would you just want to show the other language on the same siteaccess?

The latter one can bee achieved by using a list fetch specifying the language[1], which could be passed as custom view parameters[2].

Happy coding,

I did it like this:

<a 
href={concat("/index.php/en/",$requested_uri_string)|ezroot}><img src={'eng-US'|flag_icon()} alt="english"></img></a>

Obviously you have to adjust it for your case. If you are using vhost mode with subdomains it could work like this:

<a 
href="http://en.yourdomain.com/"{$requested_uri_string}"><img src={'eng-US'|flag_icon()} alt="english"></img></a>

I don't know if this is the best way to do it, but for me it works.

Hi,
ted said that he want to show the link only if the translation exit:

.... it's translation to another language (if exists).

for this i think you can use this code:

{def  $counter='' }
{set $counter=$node.object.available_languages|count-1}

{for  0 to $counter as $counters}
                    {if  $node.object.available_languages[$counters]|eq('eng-GB')}

                      {* here use the fetch_url_alias operator like said Andre R 
                         replace eng-GB by your desired code of country
                      *}

		{break}
		{/if}
	{/for}

best regards
