For the homepage in particular this is an issue. One way to achieve all translations of a homepage node to point to the same spot is to manually set the URL path setting for each translation to something like "home" and then set the site homepage to "home" (as opposed to a specific node). This works well, but when translated a node with Translation Manager, any URL path settings seem to be wiped out.

The module has been modified to do this. There are several things that had to be taken into account:

1) If the original nodes url path is created by the pathauto module then the translated nodes url path will also be created by the pathauto module. (Usually from the title)

2) If the original node url path is manually set then the url path is just copied to the translation.

3) When a translated node is created the path alias had to be directly set as the translator may not have been given permission to set url aliases.
