make Snippet Linktext changeable about babel HOT 2 CLOSED

There's no need to change anything on Babel. You can do this already in several ways:

1. Use the default babelLink chunk and change the lexicons entries for babel.language_xy (as you said). But remember: this will also change the labels in the manager!
2. Create your own chunk and your own lexicon entries e.g. mysite.language_xy and in the chunk you'll use
   [[%mysite.language_[[+cultureKey]]? &namespace=your-namespace &topic=your-topic]]
3. Create your own chunk and a snippet which generates the labels out of the cultureKey: Chunk:
   <a href="[[+url]]>[[mySnippet? &cultureKey=[[+cultureKey]]

And in your snippet something like that:
$cultureKey = $modx->getOption(....);
$output = '';
switch ($cultureKey) {
case 'en':
$output = 'English Version';
break;
case 'de':
$output = 'German Version';
break;
default: $output = '???';
}
return $output;

I hope this helps.

Okay, didn't know that. Found that 2nd solution seems to be the best. No need for another snippet etc. and easy to manage.
