inserting Language Dropdown into main menu

[danielsl]

1 trying to add extra pages to default _uikit.php function ukNavBarNav-> fails ...it requires 1 array

2 trying to add dropdown  multilingual menu there-> fails it requires pages array and problem n1

3 adding standard php multilingual code (for menu generation) to UkNavBarNav ->fails as variable $languages is empty there

 

SO What is the best way to navigate(menu) in Blog profile and how to add language switcher in a drop down manner?

Look . All you describe here has nothing to do with my question. 

I added multilingual support to blog scheme and it works perfectly showing multilingual menu. But as I asked I need to integrate it into main menu using build in functionality. And I believe there is a really easy way for that. 

Secondly why should I use menu builder if I can simply fix a template with pure php. All I need is to pass $languages to function uknavbarnav somehow or decide a function in parts. No idea yet. Buy surely there must be a simple answer

There is. Use wire('languagues') instead of $languages in function scope. wire() makes all wired variables available to you this way ($page, $templates, $log etc.).
