  if ($result=="en-GB") { 

       <div id="jf-logo">

        <a href="index.php"><img src="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template ?>/images/logo.png" alt="JF Texturia"/></a>

      </div>

      <!-- Main menu module -->

      <div id="jf-mainmenu">

        <?php endif; ?>

        <div id="jf-submenu"><jdoc:include type="modules" name="submenu" /></div>

      </div>

       <div id="jf-logo">

        <a href="index.php"><img src="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template ?>/images/logo.png" alt="JF Texturia"/></a>

      </div>
  }
?> 

Answer 1

I am probably misunderstanding something here...

You can simply make a module position, two logo modules (custom HTML, really) with a language specified and let Joomla! handle it.

Or you can do it in the CSS using the html[lang="aa-AA"] selector. See attribute selectors. Browser compatibility is good enough I think. (ie anyone using a browser too old for this has bigger problems with your Joomla site...)

Answer 2

Ville Niemi gave you the best answer here.

I think your main problem is that you are mixing up HTML and PHP code. Your file should rather look like:

<?php
  $lang = JFactory::getLanguage();
  $result = $lang->getTag();
  if ($result=="en-GB") { ?>

       <div id="jf-logo">

        <a href="index.php"><img src="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template ?>/images/logo.png" alt="JF Texturia"/></a>

      </div>

      <!-- Main menu module -->

      <div id="jf-mainmenu">

        <?php if($this->countModules('mainmenu')) : ?>



           <jdoc:include type="modules" name="mainmenu" />



        <?php endif; ?>

        <div id="jf-submenu"><jdoc:include type="modules" name="submenu" /></div>

      </div>
  <?php
  } 
  else { ?>
       <!-- Main menu module -->

      <div id="jf-mainmenu">

        <?php if($this->countModules('mainmenu')) : ?>



           <jdoc:include type="modules" name="mainmenu" />



        <?php endif; ?>

        <div id="jf-submenu"><jdoc:include type="modules" name="submenu" /></div>

      </div>

       <div id="jf-logo">

        <a href="index.php"><img src="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template ?>/images/logo.png" alt="JF Texturia"/></a>

      </div>
<?php
  }
?>
