Switch language using JavaScript

Question

I want to have 2 buttons, one En and the other Es, to change the display language for current user in SharePoint 2013, I have seen some articles talking about OnSelectionChange, but it doesn't work anymore.

Any way to change display language using JavaScript in 2013?

Answer 1

You can use following code :

<script type ="text/javascript"> 
function OnSelectionChange(value)
{ 
var today = new Date();
var oneYear = new Date(today.getTime() + 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
var url = window.location.href;
document.cookie = "lcid=" + value + ";path=/;expires=" + oneYear.toGMTString();
window.location.href = url;
}
</script>

<a href="javascript:OnSelectionChange(1031)">German</a>
<a href="javascript:OnSelectionChange(1033)">English</a>
