I have a node translated to two languages (English and Swedish). A single menu item points to the translation set, and the title of the menu item changes when the site language changes.

When I edit and save one of the nodes, the language of the menu item is changed from "All languages" to the language of the node I just edited. So if I edit the english node, the menu item changes language to English.

I believe this is related to the fieldset "Menu settings" on the node edit form. This is automatically populated when a node is edited, and when you save it seems to override the language of the menu item.

I have seen this behaviour on two separate sites:
1. i18n 1.6 and i18nmenu_node alpha 3
2. i18n 1.7 and i18nmenu_node beta 1

I'm thinking this could be avoided by unsetting the entire fieldgroup for menu settings, but this is a far from elegant solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The issue you are seeing is probably caused by a change to Menu translation introduced in i18n 1.6: alpha3 is affected by it, beta1 should have fixed it (see #905444: Make i18nmenu_node work with i18n 1.6).

I cannot reproduce this on a fresh i18n 1.7 + i18nmenu_node 1.0-beta1 install: please verify that the "Enable node translation" checkbox is checked for the menu items pointing to translation sets because their status may have been reset.

Thanks for your help platch, and thanks for a much needed module.

By upgrading site 1 to i18n 1.7 and i18nmenu_node 1.0-beta1, the problem seems to be fixed. This still doesn't explain the behaviour on site number 2, but it would suggest that the error is not in the i18nmenu_node module. I will keep investigating, and post back here in case I find the solution.

It turned out that I18n Auto translate modified the menu structure, which caused this behaviour. I deactivated that module, and now it works beautifully.
