Hello all...
Im fresh new with drupal (so new that im hardly sure that i post in the right place...if not please delete it)
I was playing with i18n but had some troubles so i decide to give a go to localizer.
but i have the feeling im missing something with the url alias.
How exactly can i configure it to have alias like: en/something and a el/something ?
Do i create the alias myself for every node or there is a configuration setting that im missing?
I have try to search around but cannot find a guide or something like with i18n

Thank u in advance

Hi.
Yes, you should provide url aliases.
Localizer doesn't change your links.

But url aliases are not necessary for a correct working of Localizer.
It uses a different system that I call "implicit language detection".
It reads the language associated to the called node, and in case it changes
the global language.

This permits to have urls like :
it/contact
en/contact

but also (and more user friendly in my opionion) :
contatto (for Italian)
contact (for English)

No, you have to assign to the menu link en/contact or el/contact, not simply contact.
