Hello,

I’m building with Drupal 6.9 a multilingual (English, Hebrew, Arab, Greek & Turkish) site for a Middle Eastern NGO (b1.mideastpan.org).

Setting of a multilingual site with I18 pack was, for a non-programmer ‘Drupal newbie’, pretty straightforward. It seems that content translation and switching between interface & menu languages are working fine (Bravo).

After setting a forum, the following ‘strange’ problems appear:

Initially I’ve set the Forum content type to ‘Multilanguage enabled + translation’ which followed with the creation of 3 nodes for every new forum-topic node I tried to create.

I thought that this would be to complicated for me to tweak, so I continued to set the Forum content type to be language disabled but to allow input in all languages:

Multilingual support:
Disabled

Extended language support:
Extended - All defined languages will be allowed.

Which seems to generally work-
When you’re in English or in Arabic modes (/en/ or /ar/) You can go to Forum in the menu and post a new forum topic. Then you are returned safely and your topic will show on the forums. If you’ll switch languages ( /ar/-/en/-/he/ prefixes or with language switchers at the bottom of the pages), you’ll still see the forum post that was entered.

But, stangely, this doesn’t seem to work in Hebrew mode:
1. After posting a new forum topic in /he/ the menu gets messed-up.
2. In /he/ you wouldn’t see any forum topics (the lists will show 0).

tried to ‘reset to default’ the Forum content type…
disabled and reenabled the Forum module…
searched forums and the web…

no solution yet…

any suggestions, insights or advises?

Many thanks in advance,

Menros
