  Howdy everyone,
  
  I'm in the process of upgrading a few Zikula sites to v1.2, and i'm kinda stuck: multiple languages. Oddly enough, it won't retain the language selection over the session, meaning it'll switch to the selected language using the old "?newlang=XXX", but revert back to initial language afterwards. Any clue?
  
  Thanks, Jeff

  The behaviour was totally changed, you need to use lang=XX. The language selector setting also does not persist in the session variables since this behaviour is semantically invalid. If you want to change your user persistent settings, visit the user profile and you will see a new Language Preference option where you can set.
  
  Regards,

  But there are several issues with the new language switch.
  
  I can not reproduce it, but somehow it switched from german to english without my help. Sometimes in admin area you have english warnings and german module names. The menu in seabreeze is also english in that case. Going to home all is german again, even if I've choosed english before in the user settings (or the language block).
  
  But as already told: I can not reproduce it always in the same condition.
  
  I already switched to SVN (17.11.09), same issue.

  Just a short test:
  
  Zikula 1.2.1-dev (17.11.09)
  News (2.4.1, langfiles converted to utf8) for frontpage
  seabreeze for the theme
  german and english language
  Setting en as default for the page
  logged in as the admin
  
  The user admin is switching the language from english to german on frontpage (index.php), Site changed to german
  Opening the only one News article. All ok, site is still german
  using the Menu "Startseite" (index.php) everything switched back to english
  
  Is it my environment only or has someone the same?

  Rallek: Yup, that's a variation on what i was attempting to explain.

  Would you care to explain what you mean exactly? I have some idea where this is coming from, but i'd rather hear the official answer. Drumroll please.. :D
