Beamer multilanguage support

[erotavlasme]

Hi, I was looking for a way to write a multilanguage latex presentation and I found your solutions. I tried it with beamer, but it has some problem. For instance, titles do not work:

\begin{frame}{\frametitlelang{it}{Sommario}
\frametitlelang{en}{Summary}}
\begin{itemize}
\item \lang{it}{Questa stringa appare solo in italiano.} \lang{en}{This string shows up only in English.}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

Moreover, the commands break the presentation links and the hierarchical organization of section, subsection and so on. Do you confirm that it is compatible with beamer? Thank you

Hi, The usage is not straightforward, as you must prepare the environment. Here is the working example, sorry for the "\PrerenderUnicode":

\PassOptionsToPackage{pdfencoding=auto,psdextra}{hyperref}
\PassOptionsToPackage{naturalnames}{hyperref}

\documentclass[aspectratio=169]{beamer}

\usepackage[italian, lithuanian, english]{babel} %enables babel to every lang supported by your document

\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}

\usepackage{multilanguage} % import the file with the above definitions
\PrerenderUnicode{ą}
\PrerenderUnicode{Ą}
\PrerenderUnicode{ę}
\PrerenderUnicode{Ę}
\PrerenderUnicode{š}
\PrerenderUnicode{Š}
\PrerenderUnicode{č}
\PrerenderUnicode{Č}
\PrerenderUnicode{ė}
\PrerenderUnicode{Ė}
\PrerenderUnicode{į}
\PrerenderUnicode{Į}
\PrerenderUnicode{ž}
\PrerenderUnicode{Ž}

   \lang{lt}{Ši eilutė ir vėl atsiranda tik lietuviškame tekste.}

And make sure you are correctly swiching PDF output options too.

Thank you for the fast reply. I redefined one command and I created a new command for bold word or group of words. Now it works quite well.

\newcommand{\frametitlelang}[2]{\lang{#1}{{#2}}}

\newcommand{\boldlang}[2]{\lang{#1}{\textbf{#2}}}

%% USAGE
%% enable babel to every lang supported by your document
%%
%% \usepackage[italian,english,lithuanian]{babel}
%% \usepackage{multilanguage}
%% 
%% set short and long language codes. The second one must be known by babel
%% This will be the language of current document
%%
%% Sections, subsections, subsubsections:
%% in the first parameter you can freely use both short or long language codes
%% \sectionlang{it}{Sezione 1}
%% \sectionlang{english}{Section 1}
%%
%% Strings will be displayed only in a certain language
%% \lang{it}{Questa stringa appare solo in italiano.}
%% \lang{en}{This string shows up only in English.}
%% \lang{lt}{Ši eilutė bus tik lietuviškame tekste.}
%%
%% When you have only two languages, you can simply rely on this if-else construct
%% \langif{it}{If vero: questo e' italiano.}{Else: this is for any language
%% different from Italian.}
%% 
%% Additon for Beamer package:
%%
%% \frametitlelang - frame title in particular language, use inside \frame{}

%% \frame{\frametitlelang{lt}{Literatūra: papildomas sąrašas}
%% \frametitlelang{en}{Literature: supplementary list}}

I created a minimum working example. Now I have a problem with spaces added each time that I use \lang{}{} or \boldlang{}{} on word or group of words. Do you have any idea?
