Language dropdown in Masthead iView

Question

Hello All,
Fllowing is the weblog which has described about how to show language dropdown for anonymous users.
SP12/SP20: Portal Localization for Anonymous Users
My requirement is:
Even though user is authenticated user, we want to show the language dropdown to change the user language.
I know we can change this user language from personalization link if user is authenticated. But, we want dropdown to be shown on the masthead iView.
I have changed masthead iView JSP application and i was able to display the dropdown even though user is authenticated.
On dorpdown element, we have onSelect event and on this event, I am calling one Javascript function called, "onSelect_Language". Somehow this function is not being called.
For testing, I have written code to show alert only.
So, it should show the alert and i can confirm whether function is being called.
But, i am not getting any alert.
Can you please help me?

Hi,
The same type of drop down we can set it in the logon page easily.
Make it available in logon page and try to change it to masthead using the same code.
I never tried.
We created the below fuction for different reason check it once may be usefull
     Create a javascript/ directory in the par structure
     Add the file customBranches.js in this directory      
Edit the file PORTAL-INF/jsp/HeaderiView.jsp in order to call the Branch Dropdown.
EPCM.subscribeEvent("urn:com.sapportals:navigation", "Navigate", pop);
Check this sample refresh function with alert.
                       _refreshPage: function() {
           try {
             frameworkSupport.refreshContentArea();
           } catch(e) {
             document.location.reload()
