Searching for an hour for the answer to this - really strange I can't find.

Want to list the available translations of an object on the user side, with links to display them. (similar to how they are listed on right in admin)

Also wondering at how to change the name of the language - since I just want it to eg say "Spanish" or "Español" and not "Castillan (Spain)".

regards,

Kjell,

Try something like this.

{section var=translation loop=$node.object.current_version.translation_list}
   {$translation}
{/section}

And the code which also will show a link would look something like:

{section var=translation loop=$node.object.current_version.translation_list}
   <a href={concat($node.url_alias,'/(language)/',$translation )|ezurl}>{$translation}</a>
{/section}

Normally we use different site accesses for the different translations, then the link would be different. E.g. with language code prepended in the url.

Here's the code which Peter made for me in the end- which solved all my issues very nicely. Listing the additional translations if there are any, and also allows me to override the system names for the languages:

{* Code to show list of translations *}
{* to use pictures, instead of text uses st.like this: 'esl-ES',concat('<img src=',"picture_name.png"|ezimage,'/>') *}

{let languages=hash('cat-ES','Catalan', 'chi-CN','Chinese', 'cze-CZ','Czech', 'dan-DK','Danish', 'dut-NL','Dutch', 'eng-CA','English (Canada)', 'eng-GB','English (United Kingdom)', 'eng-US','English', 'esl-ES','Español', 'esl-MX','Castillan', 'fin-FI','Finnish', 'fre-CA','French (Canada)', 'fre-FR','Français', 'ger-DE','German (Germany)', 'hun-HU','Hungarian', 'ita-IT','Italian', 'nno-NO','Norwegian (Nynorsk)', 'nor-NO','Norwegian (Bokmal)', 'pol-PL','Polish', 'por-BR','Portuguese (Brasil)', 'por-MZ','Portuguese (Mozambique)', 'por-PT','Portuguese (Portugal)', 'rus-RU','Russian', 'swe-SE','Swedish')

all_translations=$node.object.current.translation_list}
    {section show=$all_translations|count|gt(0)}
    <div class="translations">
	    {section var=translation loop=$node.object.current.translation_list}
                <a href={concat($node.url_alias,'/(language)/',$translation.item.language_code)|ezurl}>{$languages[$translation.item.language_code]}</a> | 
            {/section}
    </div>
    {/section}
{/let}
