The Insert links to MLC siblings AS component

This component inserts a link to each published MLC sibling of the current document or its root document. This component is useful in MLC documents only and the text of the links is the language name, translated or not.
Insert links to MLC siblings is similar to the Language dropdown component that fills a dropdown control with sibling languages rather than a set of links. 

When to use

This component is typically used in a multi language Web site when there is a need for the user to select another language version of a document. 

Use root document

Lookup on presentation template

Check this to do an MLC lookup on the presentation template used to present this document or optionally its root document. If you set this parameter the presentation template must be an MLC member or located in an MLC member category.

Lookup referrer

Check this to do an MLC lookup on the referrer document retreived from the component redirect to other document. If you set this parameter the referrer document must be an MLC member or located in an MLC member category.
