Hello,

I wanted to add a multilanguage feature to my site, but I can't change the language interface with Language switcher block. I used core module Locale (6.19) and I have 4 virtual sites. On the first main site I noticed, that it works (when I click on another language, everything will change), but on another virtual site, when I click on another language, only node will change, but not the others strings (like admin menu or other context). The dev version doesn't help. Is there a way, how to patch it? Thank you.

it seems to work for me at www.dance-ottawa.com. I have several virtual sites that are multilingual.

Thank you, that is great news. I have not found any solution before, so I finally used Domain Access and it works correctly.

As it used to be a 6.x thread, I never really looked into it in the 7.x version. I'll set up some tests now for this.

Sorry, I accidentally hit the wrong button before. Here is what I was going to comment:

The problem is that language settings are overridden on a per virtual site basis. You can choose the language for the virtual site under "Common settings", but there ought to be an option for multilanguage here.

For a quick fix, just comment out the section for changing language in virtual_site_common.module (lines 130 to 135).

This still seems to be an issue. I also am unable to save the translations for site name and site slogan using Virtual Sites. It just does not save them.

The site name issue does not go away when using the quick fix from #8

As there doesn't seem to be much life in this module, I switched from Virtual Sites to Domain Access plus Domain Variable. Makes it all work.

Had the same problem and found a 1 line solution. Basically added a "Multilingual" option with 'none' as the language value in the virtual_sites_commons.module. If the virtual site's defined language setting is not a valid language, the current language is used.

Attached is a patch to fix this.

FYI - The reason commenting the option out does not work is because the language is probably set already in the database. This patch will let you reset it to none and have the language switcher work.

Looks good to me. I've just volunteered to be a maintainer for the module and will try to bring it back to a more active state. I'll commit your patch and try to create a new release soon.
