In order to display one flag on a page linking to the other language instead of displaying both flags on both pages e.g. we need an US flag only on the german page and a German flag only on the English language page.
Is there a session variable controlling the languages? Is that how to go about solving the above problem?

<div>This is a feature already of the language selector. If you are using the selector as a module, you can set the option "Hide Current" which will hide the current language from the selector. If you are using the selector as a skin object, you can add the parameter "hidecurrent=true" to the skin object instance. </div> <div> </div> <div>this is a list of all available attributes: (taken from the helpfile, which you can find in the documentation folder of the module)</div> <div> </div> <div> <table id="Table1" style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellpadding="3" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top"><b>parameter</b></td> <td valign="top"><b>use</b></td> <td valign="top"><b>allowed values</b></td> <td valign="top"><b>default value</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">DisplayType</td> <td valign="top">Selects how the name of the language is rendered</td> <td valign="top">EnglishName<br/> Lcid<br/> Name<br/> NativeName<br/> TwoLetterISOCode<br/> ThreeLetterISOCode<br/> NativeLanguageName<br/> EnglishLanguageName</td> <td valign="top">NativeLanguageName</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">cssClass</td> <td valign="top">Sets the style of the dropdown menu and the links</td> <td valign="top">any valid css class name</td> <td valign="top">skinobject</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">Alignment</td> <td valign="top">To render  the links and/or flags of the selector horizontal or vertical</td> <td valign="top">Horizontal<br/> Vertical</td> <td valign="top">Horizontal</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">Separator</td> <td valign="top">To separate the links/flags</td> <td valign="top">any valid html</td> <td valign="top">&nbsp;&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">hideCurrent</td> <td valign="top">Hides the current selected language in the flag/links view</td> <td valign="top">True<br/> False</td> <td valign="top">True</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">Hyperlinks</td> <td valign="top">Show hyperlinks.
