My website is in multiple languages (for the moment 3) but I want to extend to 5. Spanish, English, German, French and Dutch. Since I live in an international community, it has to be al these languages. I can’t find a solution for the menu.  
All menus seem to display all the pages, which of course should not be. Once you have selected the language, I want clients only to see the menu options for that specific language.  
For the moment I have created buttons to work as a menu but it seems a bit rudimentary.  
Does anyone have any experience with this?

@Vitalidad – You may want to look at the [**"MyMenu"**](https://www.nimblehost.com/store/mymenu/) from **NimbleHost**. It allows to hide the main menu on chosen pages and use only the menu items you create for that page/pages. I use it for my own bi-lingual site.

RWML is flexible, easy and well supported and I would recommend it to explore 👍🏻

@EricW – Thanks for this suggestion. I was looking for something like this… 😁

Hi, do you have any experience, if google can distinguish between the multiple languages on a site using RWML?

I only use RWML on my splash page, but then my bilingual site is on separate pages in two separate folders.

I also wonder about how Google deals with RWML !?

I am working on 2 new RWML versions. RWML v2 is adding some new features like e.g. a dropdown language switch and improvements to the menu system that should make it compatible with 99% of the available themes. RWML v2.5 (or maybe 3) is going to be a completely rewritten PHP side wide system to improve a number of things including SEO support although you should not have any issues with that since you can easily tell Google that alternative content URLs are available:

```
<link rel="alternate" href="www.yoursite.com/?lang=nl" hreflang="nl" />
<link rel="alternate" href="www.yoursite.com/?lang=en" hreflang="en" />

```

Hope this helps.
