In Drupal 6 you want to use the i18n module for lots of helpful things that aren't covered in core yet.

I did and it did help (eg. now blog en each language is displayed correctly).
However, menus and blocks are only being displayed in English...even though I translated them.......any clue?

Two modules are to be added for Drupal 6: i18n and trasliteration for translation.
There is something wrong in module Menu from Drupal 6. I tested it a lot of times, the results are: a) This menu at Primary Links works ok in any regions with any languages, but only if it is vertical. b) This menu as horizontal at Primary Links is ok too, but only with one language. 3) The way to solve this problem is a hook, sorry I couldn't do or find it.

I'm using Drupal version 6, and it makes translating your site to be more complicated than it should. I found that the Translation Table module can help you with that, so if anyone is interested, you should take a look.

We're putting together a guide for using i18n:
http://drupal-translation.com/node/10

So far, it covers:

  • Installing the required modules
  • Setting up the languages
  • Enabling Multilingual support for Content
  • Preparing content for translation
  • Creating translations
  • Adding the language switcher
  • Setting the front page per language
  • Adding a menu

The above site ( http://drupal-translation.com/node/10 ) was very useful to me as a I prepare a English / Chinese plant root research site for collaborators at a Chinese university. Thanks. As a drupal newb I would say if I can do it anyone can.
