Oops... when you said "system setting" you meant "system setting", not context setting! Now I have a better understanding of the settings hierarchy - I knew about it in theory, now know it in practice.

Ah, yes! I keep forgetting about context settings! Thank you.

BabelLink only have 4 placeholders: [[+cultureKey]], [[+url]], [[+active]], and [[+id]].

I think the fastest ways is by creating new system setting. For example:

babel_language_en = "English"
babel_language_fr = "Français"
babel_language_iw = "עברית"

Then in your babel tpl, this can be used in this way:

[[++babel_language_[[+culturKey]]]]

If I'm viewing the French section, all of the language links are in French. If I'm viewing in the English, all of the language links are in English.

What I want is for the link to English always be in English, the link to French always be in French, etc.

For example, if I have French, English and Hebrew, it would always be

Français, English, עברית

instead of

Français, Anglais, Hébreu
French, English, Hebrew

I've figured out two ways to do it; use images instead of text for the buttons, or use Babel lexicon files - either edit the existing default, or create a new one just for this.

I have several sites using Babel. But I didn't understand what do you mean?

Is there a way to have the language menu generated by BabelLinks have each item in its own language, rather than having all of them in the language being viewed?
