I use this module with three languages.
After, I suppose, a wrong manipulation, whatever the language, I have always the same frontpage when I choose the language with the language switcher !
For the other nodes the changement of language is correct.

How can I re-establish the situation ?

I have the same error after upgrading from 6.x-1.0-beta3 to beta6.

Documenting my progress:
* I added a multilingual variable like explained here: http://drupal.org/node/313272#comment-1105812
* Changing the frontpage via language switcher works now.
* However under /en where the correct frontpage is being displayed the menu entrys are mixxed up. Only some russian entys show up.
* When changing from a site other than front all menu items are being displayed correctly. So /en and /en/home have the same content as well as en/node/3 witch redirects to /en/home.
>> I guess I have an error in the way I have set up menu items. I am not sure what I have actually done to cause such strange behaiviour but the explanaition here http://drupal.org/node/313302 is something to follow.

There was a bug in previous versions preventing the site_frontpage variable to be switched properly, it should be fixed in latest (dev) one.

There's a handbook page here about site front page, http://drupal.org/node/357248

Sorry to reopen this issue, but I have searched a great deal and am aware that the site front page variable can be made multilingual, but nowhere have I been able to find out WHY this is necessary.

Why can I not simply set ONE site home page at admin/settings/site-information and then translate this chosen node?

eg if I set node/10 as my site front page at admin/settings/site-information, then translate node/10 to German, French and Italian at nodes 11, 12, and 13 respectively, why don't these other translations get used when I go to mydomain.com/de etc?

Thanks,
Jeff

That's a different question. The issue in this thread was fixed.

Title: always the same frontpage whatever the language » frontpage language switcher does not work

Hello,

This same bug seems to have resurfaced in 6.1.7

Here is my site for reference
http://www.favoritrestaurant.hu

You can see the language switcher has no effect on the frontpage.

PS I i only got this working with this hackish solution, whereby all frontpages were set to home.
