Issue trying to change language from Django template

Question

I need to include two buttons or links to allow users change language between English and Spanish. I\'ve read the docs and tried this:

Answer 1

A sum-up of possible options:

Change the user's session language with a select

There is an excellent extensive description with example on Django docs.

Change the user's session language with buttons

There is no need to repeat a form for each button as @Caumons suggested, instead you can simply include as many buttons in the form as the languages.

    {% csrf_token %}
    
    

        {% get_current_language as LANGUAGE_CODE %}
        {% get_available_languages as LANGUAGES %}
        {% get_language_info_list for LANGUAGES as languages %}
        {% for language in languages %}
            

                
                    {{ language.name_local }}
                
            
        {% endfor %}
    

You can certainly style up the buttons to look like links or whatever.

Change the language displayed with links

If it is not required that the default user session language is changed, then simple links can be used to change the content:

    {% get_current_language as LANGUAGE_CODE %}
    {% get_available_languages as LANGUAGES %}
    {% get_language_info_list for LANGUAGES as languages %}
    {% for language in languages %}
        

            
                {{ language.name_local }}
            
        
    {% endfor %}

SEO

I am not entirely sure that the content is seo friendly if a form is used to change the session language, as Django recommends. Therefore it is possible that the link markup is added as hidden below the element.
