Hi, just an idea

You create 2 different menus. If You don´t know how look in the help-pages multiple menus.

One menu for EN-pages and one menu for FR-pages.
In Your index.php put an if-else switch, based on language, to the showmenu-call like this:


--- Code: ---<?php
if (LANGUAGE == &#39;EN&#39;) {
show_menu2(1,SM2_ROOT,SM2_ALL,SM2_ALL,&#39;<li><a h.......>) &#39;;
} else {
show_menu2(2,SM2_ROOT,SM2_ALL,SM2_ALL,&#39;<li><a h.......>) &#39;;
}
?>

--- End code ---

And from now You will only have either this or that menu.

Hi Vyni,

Thanks for the recommendation. After many hours of chasing my tale, I actually had a moment of clarity and reverted back to the initial setup I was first trying to do without all the extra coding. This time, I simply moved my EN and FR pages up to the root level next to Home:

HOME (Landing Page - with intro text in EN & FR and links to both languages):
EN
- Section 1
-- Section 1 sub A
-- Section 1 sub A
- Section 2
-- Section 2 sub A
-- Section 2 sub A
FR
- Section 1
-- Section 1 sub A
-- Section 1 sub A
- Section 2
-- Section 2 sub A
-- Section 2 sub A

and then set my menu call as follows:
<?php show_menu2(0, SM2_ROOT+1, SM2_ALL, SM2_ALL|SM2_CURRTREE|SM2_PRETTY, false, false, '<ul class="menu">'); ?>

And everything works just perfectly. I'm not sure why I didn't get this at the beginning but I guess it's all good learning...

Thanks again for your time.

Michael
