I have set up a site with 5 documents in English and 5 corresponding translation in Chinese. All the original documents have URL aliases.

1. I created five items in Primary Links to point to the 5 documents (using URL aliases), the five items are set to "All languages" and I use "Translation Interface" to translate the menu items. When I switch to Chinese, the menu items disappear. Some time when I am in the home page and switch the language, the Chinese menu appears. But as soon as I switch to another page, they disappear.

2. I deleted the five menu items and created them again, this time using node/xx instead of the URL aliases. Same problem.

3. I deleted the five menu items and created another 5, setting the language to English this time. Then I create 5 more menu items with Chinese translation, setting the language to Chinese. This has worked in a previous Drupal 6 installation. Same problem.

4. I deleted all the menu items and started again. This time setting all the items to "All languages" and use a full URL path for the English document. Now the menu items do not disappear. But language switching no longer not work. When I am in Chinese and click on the menu, I get the document in English.

Any help will be most appreciated.

I tried one more thing. I created a 6th document and added a sixth item to the menu. The language of the document is set as English, with no translation. I view this document and switch the language to Chinese, the menu remains. I switch to another Chinese page, and the menu disappears.

Check you have the module "Menu Translation" enabled

Is this issue fixed in the latest D6? is there any interest in pursuing this issue?
