I use Custom HTML in the "MENU EDITOR".
The "MENU EDITOR" does not have a language setting.
The Joomla Menu does have a language setting.
Is there any way that i can use a HTML trick like:
<html>
(if language= ENG) Hello
(if language= FRA) Bonjour
</html>
Update:
Would this javascript select the language?
stackoverflow.com/questions/15255735/how...-website-using-javas
<script type="text/javascript">
var language_code = "<?php echo $lang_code;?>";
var language_name = "<?php echo $lang_name ;?>";
console.log("Lang Code"+language_code+"Lang Name"+language_name);
</script> - Last Edit: 8 years 1 month ago by Robert.

Use a language constant and then create overrides for the lanaguage constant in language manager. Look at Joomla docs for how to use language constants. Alternately create two versions of the module for each language and assign the module to the correct langauge then Joomla will choose to use the correct one based upon the current language.

Excellent thanks for giving the 2 options.
I just put 2 custom modules in the menu (using the menu editor) and indeed it selects the correct one.
The language constant looks more appropriate, but how to insert it in my custom HTML? I created the COM_CONTENT_RELATED constant value. But I'll RTFM on that....
Thanks for helping this beginner on a far far away mountain top.
