The language switcher does not appear
| Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|
| Plugin is disabled | Go to Site Administration → Plugins → Local plugins → Edwiser Localizer and ensure Enable is checked. |
| No languages selected | In the Translate To setting, select at least one language. |
| Course forces a language | Check the course settings. If Force language is set, the switcher hides automatically. |
| On customizer or grader page | The switcher intentionally hides on the RemUI Customizer and Edwiser Grader pages. |
| Caching | Purge Moodle caches (Site Administration → Development → Purge caches) and hard-refresh your browser (Ctrl+F5 or Cmd+Shift+R). |
The switcher appears but translation does not work
| Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|
| Browser blocks third-party scripts | Google Translate loads from translate.google.com. Ensure your network or ad-blocker does not block this domain. |
| JavaScript disabled | The plugin requires JavaScript. Ensure it is enabled in your browser. |
| Invalid language code | Check that the selected language is supported. Try English → Spanish as a test. |
Footer placement is not positioning correctly
The plugin tries three footer locations in order:
1. #page-footer #footer-column-1
2. #page-footer .footer-container
3. #page-footer
If your theme uses a custom footer structure, the switcher may not find a home. In this case, use Header placement instead, or add custom CSS to position #local-translator-wrapper.
