I support my Drupal multi-language site much time and found several issues which I want to summarize here for your information.

First, about configuration. My Drupal 6.19 was installed on two domains "dev.answe.ru" for Russian (RU) and "dev.andrew.answer.name" for English content (EN). I want to switch languages by language switcher and filter content by language. I use "domain name only" language negotiation scheme, for content filtering I patch my Drupal installation (only update SQL queries to add language filtering in some core modules, not very complex thing). But I see what I can't work with that configuration more...

Problem 1. Independent login for every domain.

When I login as Administrator on (RU) domain I don't logged at (EN) domain same time. Yes, sessions differ. I try to fix it with $cookie_domain in settings.php, and with .htaccess rules, but no success. I haven't ideas.

Problem 2. Another domain treated as external by statistic module

When I start to collect stat info about users, I found what my other domain collected as "external link" in "top referers".

Problem 3. Google Analytic, counters

I use Google Analytic module and I don't know how to setup it for collecting info about both domain separately. Currently only (RU) domain stat collected. Counter (I use HotLog) work with (RU) domain too - what to do with (EN) and how to collect right stat info. By my opinion, site domains should be somehow "linked" together and when user switch from (RU) to (EN) and back, it shouldn't be treated as "site leaving" and "site start visit". And, for third language this list should be extended with new domain...

Maybe anybody know any additional info about this things and can help me.
