Overview
This tag is used to access all the locales any given entry or term is available in. It's most commonly used as a language switcher.
Each locale's system data, as configured in config/statamic/sites.php, is available inside of a locale array.
Examples
Iterating over locales
Loop through in each locale to get URLs to translated versions of an entry or taxonomy term.
<ul>{{ locales }} <li><a href="{{ permalink }}">View in {{ locale:name }}</a></li>{{ /locales }}</ul>Targeting a locale
You can also specify a locale directly instead of looping through them all.
{{ locales:fr }} <a href="{{ permalink }}">View in French</a>{{ /locales:fr }}<s:locales:fr> <a href="{{ $locale['permalink'] }}">View in French</a></s:locales:fr>Excluding the entry's locale
You can choose to not show the locale belonging to the entry.
{{ locales self="false" }} <a href="{{ permalink }}">View in {{ locale:name }}</a>{{ /locales }}<s:locales self="false"> <a href="{{ $locale['permalink'] }}">View in {{ $locale['name'] }}</a></s:locales>Parameters
