Hi everybody,

I'm upgrading a Drupal 5 site in 3 languages (3 separate Drupal installations) to a single multilingual Drupal 6 site using the "i18n" module.

D5 current situation: The 3 D5 sites are independent, I replicated the databases and translated every one of them separately.
The primary links redirect users to the main page of every language (to the home page of a different Drupal 5 installation).

Desired D6 situation: One single DB for the 3 languages, with translations for every article. Change the article language clicking on the language switcher, instead of going to the home page.

I managed to configure the new D6 site with translations for content, taxonomy, menus... it worked pretty smoothly.
The only issue: I would like just to place the language switcher block in the primary links, to keep the same design as before, and I can't find the way.

Any ideas?

hello.

this page from the handbook has a snibit that may prove useful. only draw back though that it is designed to work with drupal 5. I haven't tested under 6 myself.

This language switching snippet (kindly adapted by Frank Steiner) works for D6+i18n:

Usually, I insert it in the theme template to appear in the page header area above/below/next to the search box, but I guess you can place it in the primary links area, too.
