We have a site with two languages. We want the language switcher at the top, but ONLY if the current page is available in another language. If not, we want to hide the whole switcher. I am currently calling the switcher nav through PHP, but how do I first check if the_content is available in another language?
Thanks!

You can use qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x#329

As qTranslateX does not support this out of the box.

Note: Update/Publish your pages, posts, after integrating this change in order for this to work.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for! You saved me the time to write it ourselves :-)

If I pull just your commit, will it get overwritten by the next plugin update however, or is it now going to be in core?

I created a MR long ago, but it seems the creator did not merge anything for months now. So, if it's eventually added to the core, you should have no problems updating.
