<a href="../index.html"> cela te permettra de revenir à la page principale en français depuis le dossier anglais.
Tu utilises ".." pour indiquer que tu veux remonter d'un dossier.
Donc, dans ta page en anglais, tu peux écrire : <a href="../en/index.html"> pour aller à la page en anglais à partir de la page en français, ou revenir à la page principale.
Si tu as d'autres questions, n'hésite pas !

    The current directory is a point, for example, with the path to truc.html in the current folder:
    "./truc.html" is equivalent to "truc.html"

    To reach truc.html in the parent directory:
    "../truc.html"

    To reach truc.html in the parent of the parent directory:
    "../../truc.html"

    To reach truc.html at the root of the site (the parent of all others):
    "/truc.html"

      Thank you for responding, but I'm still stuck.
      So, I have:
      http://www.my site.com, and within that, I have an English folder that I open
      with a link:
      <a href="an/index.html">: no problem here,
      now when I’m in the English folder, to return to the French folder:
      <a href="/index.html">, it doesn’t work.
      <a href="/my site/index.html">, it doesn’t work
      I have to write:
      <a href="http://www.my site.com">
      it’s probably not complicated, but I can’t figure it out!!
      Thank you for helping me.

    Hi,

    I don't quite understand. Do you want to go back in the hierarchy, meaning go to the parent folder?

    In that case, you just need to use relative links:
    <a href="../index.html">

    I recommend reading this page, it will be really useful for understanding relative and absolute paths:

    Hello,

    site_mother contains:

    index.html
    in
    esp

    To go to English

    en/index.html

    To return 

     ../index.html


    To go to esp

    .. to go back to the parent folder (site_mother)
    in to go to Spanish

    so: 
    ../esp/index.html


    Read carefully the answer 2 from Kilian.

    You need to juggle with . and .. 

    . current directory .. parent directory


    If you have this structure: 
     /parent/child1/child11/child12/index1.html /parent/child2/child21/child22/index2.html


    and you are on index2.html here’s how to link to index1.html step by step:
    You must go back up to /parent to be able to change the children

    - the current directory is child22 
    ./index2.html

    - the parent directory for child22 and child21 so to access child21 you write 
    ../
    you go back one directory
    - the parent directory for child21 and child2 so to access child2 you write 
    ../../
    you go back two directories
    - the parent directory for child2 and parent so to access parent you write 
    ../../../
    you go back three directories

    and now since you are in parent you have access to all the children

    So to enter child12/index1.html you follow the other path 
    ../../../child1/child11/child12/index1.html


    In short, since we were in index2.html we had to go back 3 directories and then go down 3 directories to access index1.html.

    Take the simple algorithm:

    A->B->C
    A->B1->C1

    You are in C1. To get to C you must do it via A, so we have

    C1 ->B1 ->A ->B ->C

    ../../B/C

    Thank you for this explanation, actually it’s quite simple....now.
    Well, I was thinking of getting into PHP, but I think I’ll do some cooking instead!!!
    Thanks again.

        And it would be better if we could keep the ivory for ourselves.

        At least now we know that if we have cooking problems, we can ask Mellissa.


        Mellissa said and especially no one laugh at me !!!
        I hope she doesn’t mix up the tags with the ingredients.

    ok thanks,
    I forgot the colons and now it's good, but since I'm useless, I can't switch files to the other: if I have two folders in my main folder, for example: English and Spanish: to switch from English to French:
    <a href="../index.html">,
    but to go from English to Spanish?
    and please nobody laugh at me!!!
