Change the language in the block does also change content language

Hi,

Two things determine the language of a page in Drupal 6. Given a url www.yoursite.com/en/node/1 , the "/en/" part determines the language of the site itself (ie. the interface language), and the 'node/1' part determines the language of a content (because a given node is always in the same language - translations are given different node ids).

This is what the module is meant to do :

* Let's say you have two nodes, node/1 in English and node/2 which is the Dutch translation of node/1
* Let's say you are looking at www.yoursite.com/en/node/1 : that is, an English node with an English interface.

Now with the Language Switcher module that comes with i18n, if you click on 'Dutch' it will take you to www.yoursite.com/nl/node/2 : that is, the Dutch version of the node, with a Dutch interface.

With the Preserve Language interface switcher, it will take you to www.yoursite.com/nl/node/1 : The english version of the node, with the Dutch interface. The point is that it does not change the 'node/1' part of the URL - which determines the language of the content.

Now, I watched your screencast, and it seems to me that it is working properly.

1. You were viewing node/53 (which is in English), with a Dutch interface.
2. You clicked on English interface, and you are still viewing node/53 but the interface is in English.

Note that node/53 was in English to begin with - maybe that is why you got confused ?

Or did I misunderstand your point ? Let me know if you need more help/explanations.
