Internationalization

Posted by mathis on April 16, 2010 at 1:11pm

I just tested this for drupal 6 on a custom menu but it may be helpfull:
If you have multiple languages on your website and your theme is calling this function, you may use the i18nmenu_translated_tree('menu_name') instead, wich will bring your translated menu...

Of course you need internationalization module and enabled translated menus...
