menu link to translations [#794028]

is it possible to use this module to create menu links to translated nodes or is it just an input filter??

i am asking because i have a case similar like this one:

http://drupal.org/node/346112

it would be usefull to just create add a menu link like this:
we have 2 languages
EN: node/1
DE: node/2

create a menu link to
- /redir/node/1

will automatically link to node/2 if german (DE) is the active language.

does this module help in this case also?

You could use the Multilink Redirect submodule, that may help (then have only one menu item and let the user be redirected to the translated version.) But, doesn't the existing Menu Translation (i18n module) do what you need?

Well, to be clear, currently MultiLink does nothing with menu items - possibly there's scope for another sub-module to do that.

thanks for the hint.

you are right, normaly i18n module should do that automatically. but seems like there is a bug. i had to create all menu items with multilingual content twice.

the case is described here also:

http://drupal.org/node/346112

Ok, I've read http://drupal.org/node/346112 - it seems outside the scope of MultiLink, and needs to be fixed at source or worked around as described in that post.
