I have a question about path aliasing when doing international content.
I have a news page on my site with a path that goes http://www.mysite.com/news and when I click on the japanese flag on my site the path changes to http://www.mysite.com/ja/news so I was going to make a japanese link to it with the word news in Japanese of course. But I tried to get it to link to mysite.com/ja/news and it wouldn't let me . It said that the path didn't exist or I didn't have permission to. Why is this? Is mysite.com/news a different node then ja/news? This is important because I need to rebuild some views blocks to show lists of japanese news/press releases ect on the ja/news page only. So what gives?
Can anyone help me figure this out?

you should set the language settings to "path prefix with lang fallback" (the third radio)
if it's a page so you have to have 2 pages English & Japanese and set each node path to "news"
so it will be http://www.mysite.com/ja/news
and http://www.mysite.com/en/news
if this is a view so this should be automatic
good luck
problems if the path aliases are different
in a similar case to the one pointed here, what if the path aliases are different and they both must link to the same node with different translations.? for example:
http://www.mysite.com/en/news
http://www.mysite.com/es/noticias
I am having problems to get the menus running.
I create a page node, set it to one of the languages (for eg. english) and asigning a alias to it (for eg. news). Then I create a translation to another language (spanish) and set a new alias (noticias). This works so far. But then I need to have menu items pointing to those pages. I cannot set the menu item to point to one of the translations. I get this error :
The path 'noticias' is either invalid or you do not have access to it.
This worked with Drupal 5 as far as I remember, i have done few multilingual pages with 5. I just started using drupal 6, maybe I am missing something?
thanks
and problems with menus when alias is the same
Another similar issue. In the case described above where the alias is actually the same for two languages (for eg. news), if i create menu entries to point to each of the nodes (the spanish and the english). When I create the both menu entries I enter as path the alias ( news ) but then I see that Drupal has actually replaced the alias with the node number (node/2, node/3).
thanks again
i just realised that this happens always. the menu entries dont seem to like to point to alias at all.
solved!
