I
already posted in the forum, but I guess this is a more appropriate place. Sorry for double post

I have an extra translation tab in my content admin and I have done everything that is mentioned on http://drupal.org/node/133977.
After making the translation, when I go to the page and select another language, it will not give me that language, but my sites default language.
The other language is available as a seperate page but it is not in the menu, I can access it by typing the node number in the address bar manually or by clicking on the link to the other language below the text, the link in the menu block does not work: this only changes locale, not content

If I go to mysite.tld/en/node/1 or mysite.tld/fr/node/1 I get the same page, is that normal?

Please help!

Sounds like you're using the Switch language block and not the Translations block.

If I go to mysite.tld/en/node/1 or mysite.tld/fr/node/1 I get the same page, is that normal?

Yes, that's normal. To see the translated text, you must go to something like mysite.tld/fr/node/2. This is what the language link below the node will do for you.

great stuff! thank you very much, this fixed some of the problems.

unfortunately, there is still one BIG problem: menu is in 1 language and doesn't switch to the right one. Also if i click on the language, the menu isn't expanded, for child pages it is expanded, but it also shows the other languages childpages+the page i'm on, not the other child pages of this language

i cannot add new pages to the menu either

is there something else i should do?

Yeah, the menu thing is still a pain in the butt, unfortunately. The only way that I have got it working properly (with regards to changing languages), is to create two separate menus - one for each language. Then, in Block management, configure each menu block to only appear for a particular language e.g. the English menu: show only on en/* and the French only on fr/*.
