Although Daniel's CSS works fine on my site, the editor I am using warns me to not use "IDs in selectors" as in:

#language-selector ul {
   width: 75px;

Why is this?

Well, it works for me. Thanks, Daniel and Rod!

I found in the Inspector that I can align the graphic masthead with the tagline with

div.masthead:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(1) > a:nth-child(1) > h1:nth-child(1) > span:nth-child(1) > img:nth-child(1) {
padding-right: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
right: 15px;
}

Is this usefull ? Is there a more CSS-like way to do this? If not, where do I put this code?

Sorry, I panicked. Of course, there MUST be a Home page. All I had to do was create a HOME page and insert the album set required.

I keep forgetting this stuff!

This is a fairly straightforward site: the Home page shows thumbnails that are buttons that lead to video clips. All the data will be written in both languages using the method suggested earlier.
As for the menu items, I still have to discover where to edit these.
As for the button, I succeeded in placing on the left and changing the "Fr" by "Français". But now I'm wondering about that globe icon. Not sure everyone will "get it". Looking for another icon or a way to have some kind of indicator to switch language.
For the masthead, I'll just design a bilingual one, until I find a way to have separate Mastheads, switchable.

As Walter Cronkite used to say: "that's the way it is", for now.

This is great, Rod. I finally got it to work, although I'm not finished, yet. And I am learning elementary HTML to boot. But I'll have a multi-language site within...well, you know until I get all the kinks ironed out!
I'll also get rid of that Fr, En page rendered useless.

Thanks for your patience, Rod.

Believe me, I would rather build just one, multi-language, site. But I don't know where to assign the ''data-lang'' attribute to the HTML element on the page.

And of course, I had forgotten to assign the pages!

That's exactly what I am doing. In https://pideja.ca/marco/Fr/backlight/de … templates/ I export the templates for PAGES, GALLERY SET and ALBUM from the Fr side and then open https://pideja.ca/marco/En/backlight/de … templates/ which is the En side and then I import the three templates. I notice, right off the bat that the Fr PAGES-marco template indicates 2 child templates and 3 pages.
Whereas once imported into the En side, I have 2 child templates but 0 pages! It may not mean anything but on the Fr side, the DEFAULT page template indicates 0 pages but on the En side, it indicates 4.

OK, I get that the way I built my site(s), I probably can't import the previously published albums because each section is a separate site. That's why there is a first page with the Fr and En menus buttons. Each leads to a separate site.
The solution proposed by TTG for multi-language sites is very interesting but the way I understand it, the site would switch the language in accordance with the computer's operating system. The problem with that is that a lot of French-speaking people have the English language as the operating system's language. How would the switch to French occur under these conditions?

I had not noticed where to control the breadcrumbs in Backlight. This is my first site entirely built with Backlight only. It doesn't seem like much but for me, it's something of a hurdle crossed. I still have to complete the English side and a full rebuild from the CE3 version to the Backlight 3 will be completed.
Thanks, Rod

I get it, thanks. I would do it as a stopgap but would have to correct on Backlight as soon as that maintenance update comes thru. I do want a completely Backlight publish in the end.
