I was under the impression that when selecting a language, from the language selection block (in drupal6), the content is also filtered to display only the nodes in the selected language
This behaviour is also confirmed by this handbook page http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/translation
Use the language switcher block provided by locale module to allow users to select a language. If available, both the site interface and site content are presented in the language selected.(maybe this is not really for drupal 6.x as it states ??)
I have also looked for any configuration setting that enables such a thing but found nothing ....
I finally filled out a bug report http://drupal.org/node/233242 but did not get any response yet ...
This is happening on a clean install so it could not be a bug originating from another module ...
What is your experience, am I missing something obvious ??

Try selecting another setting for Content selection node
This might not solve your problem, but you could give it a try. Go to Administer -> Site Configuration -> Multilingual system. At the bottom of the page, expand Advanced settings and select "Only current and default languages and no language" for Content selection node. This is how I have configured it. Try other settings also if this does not solve your problem.
Mind that I do not promote my content to the frontpage as you do, so the case is a bit different from yours. I'm using Views/Panels for a custom frontpage. I'm running Drupal 5.7 with i18n 5.x-2.2 and have not tested this for Drupal 6.1.

Administer -> Site Configuration -> Multilingual system
this does not exist in Drupal 6
You need the contributed module i18n

The same applies to translated menu items using i18n
For example if you have a link to blogs (/blog) or to any other external site in your primary links and you want it to be displayed differently in different languages it will only show up in the default language in default language version and not at all in others. As long as a menu has it's own node its translated menu will show up. This definitely looks like a bug.
You can not have translated menus with D6 just out of the box.

translated menus yet not on correct chosen languages
After some testing here's what I have discovered:
If a menu is created from admin->build->menu it can be translated but it will show up no matter what language is chosen on the site. For example create two primary menu items in different languages - both will show up in any display language chosen on the site.
If a menu is created from create node form it shows up in the language defined for the node.
I'm using D6.1 and i18n with language set to path+language callback and multilingual system set to only current language and no language
wow really old post
2009 and I am experiencing the same problem. If I create menus inside primary menu, from admin->build->menu all of them appear in every language but I I create a menu inside the node then the menu displays correctly in the defined language.
I've tried to figured this out but nothing works. Any help please?
hello,
Hi,
I was wandering if this is the usual behaviour in 5.7?
I also find that the language switcher block only switches interface language.
Is there any way to switch both the Interface and the Content Languages at the same time?

I've created a new PHP block
I've created a new PHP block with the following code:
<?php //get listed links of languages$query = drupal_query_string_encode($_GET, array('q'));
print theme('item_list', translation_get_links($_GET['q'], empty($query) ? NULL : $query));
?>

Thankyou! New PHP block worked for me
2010 and experiencing the same problem....thankyou for posting this drozzy - my language switcher block was only switching the interface and views content but not the pages content. Creating a new language switcher block with your code solved the problem. Awesome. Too many hours spent on this till now. For anyone reading this try this fix if you are having the same issue. Drupal 5.19 is my site build.
facing the same problem
Hello every1,
I m using drupal 6. i have created a menu in admin->site building->menu->primary links->add item. My menu is linked to some external site. The problem is that menu is showing on both the language pages and NOT only on the selected one. I want to show this menu only in one (selected) language NOT both.
Please help.
Solution
Hi,
I had the same problem and the bug is the path prefix is not set in other languages.
If, for instance, your site is french by default, but you also want to set it in english:
- Go to the list of languages
- On the english line, click on "edit"
- Ensure that there is "en" in the path prefix filed
For me, that done, it was working perfectly !
