Multi language - one menu (all) sufficent?

[sweup]

Is it sufficent to use only one menu for "all" language and then build different menu items per language?

Or is it a must to create one menu for each language? If it's not necessary, is there any pros to use one menu for each language?

You can try, if you wish, to create a menu displayed by a module set to ALL with one default home menu item per language in that menu, but you still need a separate menu with a default home menu item set to ALL and not displayed

Thanks

This thing gave me some headic, due to that some template developers control the default position of the menu in the template - not by a module position.

I just discovered a tutorial by Gavick and it seams to work, I don't now if it Gavick specific but i use the main menu all in the template control, and it seams to work. Maybe it will produce problems along the road when using more extensions

Not sure about his solution...
Most good templates now (even with framework), let you create a template style per language and assign the correct mainmenu_xx to that style.

Ok, will update myself about the template styles, thanks

It is usually better to create a language for each menu, as menus en, menu fr ecc

I have tried to use one menu in order to work with Gavick and Shape5 theme, due to the setting in template - so far so good
