jquery replace elements in array with string

Question

I am trying to do a simple replace of a string.

function LanguageSwitch (lang) {
    var pathname = window.location.pathname;

    if (lang == "da") {
        pathname = pathname.replace(array("/de/", "/en/"), "/da/");
    }
    if (lang == "en") {
        pathname = pathname.replace(array("/da/", "/de/"), "/en/");
    }
    if (lang == "de") {
        pathname = pathname.replace(array("/da/", "/en/"), "/de/");
    }

    window.location.replace(pathname);
}

this does work:

function LanguageSwitch (lang) {
    var pathname = window.location.pathname;

    if (lang == "da") {
        pathname = pathname.replace("/en/", "/da/");
    }
    if (lang == "en") {
        pathname = pathname.replace("/da/", "/en/");
    }

    window.location.replace(pathname);
}

but adding a third language selector - not so much ;-)

Any ideas.

EDIT: This is not a try to replace [x,y,z] with [a,b,c] but more an replace [x,y,z] with "a"

It would be better if you logged `lang` and `pathname` variables in cases when it doesn't work. — Vasili, Apr 17 '17 at 10:29

Try

function LanguageSwitch (lang) {
    var pathname = window.location.pathname;

    if (lang == "da") {
        pathname = pathname.replace(/\/en\/|\/de\//, "/da/");
    }
    if (lang == "en") {
        pathname = pathname.replace(/\/da\/|\/de\//, "/en/");
    }
if (lang == "de") {
        pathname = pathname.replace(/\/da\/|\/en\//, "/de/");
    }

    window.location.replace(pathname);
}

var pathname = 'www.here-is-lang-da.com';
$('h1').text(pathname);
pathname = pathname.replace(/da|de/g, 'en');
$('h2').text(pathname);
