There’s nothing special to @swfsql’s approach.

1. Set up a dedicated Discourse forum for each language. No need for a multisite configuration.
2. Use a theme component like [Custom Header Links](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-header-links/90588) or [Brand Header](https://meta.discourse.org/t/brand-header-theme-component/77977) to create the menu you need.
