Menu Associations with translated aliases don't work

Post by snibble » Tue Feb 24, 2015 8:44 am

Hi.

I have a Joomla 3.3 Setup with three languages.
I have 3 Menus for the languages and associations between the menu items.

The associations work in general, but once I translate the alias of the menu items, the links are broken.

The link in the language switcher always contains the alias of the selected language, not the translated alias.

So - my menu item is called calendar in english and kalender in german.

If I switch to german the link in to english in the language switcher is /en/kalender - but it shold be /en/calendar
If I switch to english the link in to german in the language switcher is /de/calendar - but it shold be /de/kalendar

Is this a know issue, or might I be doing something wrong?

Yours,
Sean.

are your calendar and kalendar in the same menu?

you need to create separate menus for each language

They are in separate menus...

I created a menu for every language + a ALL languages menu.

Yeah - that's true. ;)

Currently it's still only local - but I'll put it online today... then I'll post again. ;)

Thanks.
