*Please note that I am using Spanish as an example of a secondary language in my directions below
1. Go into English vocabulary
2. Think about where you want to set up the toggle. If you want to set up the toggle on the home page, I would recommend utilizing the period as this is accessible on other pages. You want to make sure you are not replacing a necessary core word on the home screen.
3. Go to Menu-> Edit page
4. Select button you are editing to act as the toggle
5. Edit this button
6. Change button label to “Spanish”
7. Scroll to the bottom and delete all actions currently on button by going to edit-> click on the red icon to the left of each action
