Cannot switch language !! Help
My site has three languages (TW,ZH,US) that's default is TW.
It suddenly changes ZH to default when I link the homepage by IE.
(http://www.xxx.com -> redirect http://www.xxx.com/zh)
And I cannot switch to TW.
(I click "www.xxx.com/tw" to redirect "www.xxx.com/zh" but "www.xxx.com/us" is okay.)
I try to use another browser to test , and that has no problem.
Do anyone has any ideas or solutions for the issue ??
Thanks.

Re: Cannot switch language !! Help
What is your site's URL so that others can view what is happening?
In the Plugin Manager, for the plugin "System - Language Filter", for the option "Language Selection for new Visitors" what value is set? The values are "Browser Settings" and "Site Language".
Also, be informed that is a user visits a site that has been already visited by him/her, due to cookie settings he/she may be directed to the language that has been already visited by him/her.
This behavior could be controlled by the option "Cookie Lifetime".
Also, suggest the following:
- Go to the Module Manager
- Filter the modules by Administrator
- Publish the module Multilanguage Status (after this, a link with the text Multilanguage Text would appear in the status bar in the backend)
- Click on the link "Multilanguage Text" that is in the status bar, a pop-up window with the details of the Multilanguage implementation would show up. Post the image of that pop-up window

Re: Cannot switch language !! Help
The true link is
amc.edu.vn/vi/dang-nhap
as that menu item is specifically for Vietnamese, NOT English.
I suggest you associate the menu items in English and Vietnamese.
But, also, it's time for you to move to 3.6.4

Dear infograf768,
Thanks for your advice. i know right menu is amc.edu.vn/vi/dang-nhap and i should create menu associated for English.
My point is why when i typed domain is automatic redirect to this url (amc.edu.vn/en/dang-nhap), could you tell me how to find and fix it?

Re: Cannot switch language !! Help
No way to really help without access to your site as SuperUser.
But, try to clear all caches (joomla and browser).
Cache may be the issue as I can't reproduce your issue here on my browser.
