New to the translation scene. I am using Drupa 6 and the core modules to handle content translation.

I have two languages on site with language negotiation set to Path prefix only.
Default path pattern for Page node is set to [title-raw].

Created a few page nodes that link to menu. Created corresponded secondary language node using the built-in "translate" tab. Leave menu link title empty for these translated nodes and they have the same title (URL alias) as their default-language node.

The following URLs work as expected
http://example.com/services
http://example.com/zh-hans/services

When the site is in default language, primary links show the menu items with correct menu alias. However, when I switch to the second language using the language selector block, the primary links show the menu items with system path instead. So when I click on a menu item, it brings me to a URL like http://example.com/zh-hans/node/11. I expect it to see the menu alias http://example.com/zh-hans/services.

Any insight?

Okay, look like Drupal 6 core multiingual support is only half baked. I just installed the i18n module and it seems to address the menu link issue on hand. Althought it is kind of odd to have one menu for each language but this is a different story. Case is now closed.

I'm having the same problem. Can you post how you solved this exactly? I have the the i18n module installed but still getting this error.

Is this a pathauto problem or a core locale/menu problem?

I have the same problem and i'm using Drupal 7.
- Running 2 languages, English & Simplified Chinese.
- Menu : English only since I don't need a chinese menu.
- Original Website in english.
- Problem occur only for pages with translations.
- All cores and modules are running latest version as I wrote this.
