I didn't quite understand your first question. Can you explain?
I just know, that ezP gives some strange error, when you try to see an object in a language, that does not exist.

For the second:
Do I get you right: Your user changes "his" language (how does he do, this, btw?), but looses the language, when he moves on?
That _must_ work in some way. Where are the multi-language gurus? How does the system handle the user's language choice? I guess, I would do this by saving the language in the user's session cookie and/or let him save it in his preferences (that is: in the user's user object... only working for registered users, of course). What is the concept here? Can someone give us a link?

HI

I made a site in 2 langs, and the best way to do that i think is create one siteaccess for each language. Something like http://site/demoeng and http://site/demoger. In each siteaccess use the corresponding content code.

I only have 1 template for both.
To change to another language insert the link ex: http://site/demoeng/content/view/{$module_result.node_id}. This change the browser to another siteaccess.
This is a very basic example.

i use 1 virtual host for each language, ex: http://www.site.pt , http://www.en.site.pt.

BTW there is a simple problem with multilanguage sites in ez3 for now. Node name isn't translated (I bug reported in http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/bug_reports/nodename_of_translated_versions ). I hope this problem is corrected but for what i seen in svn is not :-( , i haven't tested that again.

HI

In my example i use 3 virtual hosts (1 for admin, and 2 for the 2 languages), so in settings/override/site.ini.append.php added in SiteAccesSettings sections the next lines
HostMatchType=map
HostMatchMapItems[]=www.site.com;www_site_com
HostMatchMapItems[]=www.en.site.com;www_site_com_en
HostMatchMapItems[]=admin.site.com;www_site_com_admin

Now create the www_site_com, www_site_com_en and www_site_com_admin is settings/siteaccess with a site.ini.append file in each directory, where you have to change this
[RegionalSettings]
Locale=por-PT
HTTPLocale=pt-PT
ContentObjectLocale=por-PT

Don't forget to add each files the database (the same) in these 3 files, and to define the same var , cache, and storagedir .

Read this doc http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/ez_publish_3/howtos/several_sites_with_one_installation that should be helpfull, because this is nothing more nothing less than an 1 instalation with multisites

hope i helped

ohhh .. i forget something !

i don`t know yet why the language want work with url_alias ?

i mean this will not work :
http://localhost/ez3/index.php/demo/testfolder/test_artical/en
http://localhost/ez3/index.php/demo/testfolder/test_artical/hu
http://localhost/ez3/index.php/demo/testfolder/test_artical/de

but with url_alias will not work ...

http://localhost/ez3/index.php/demo/content/view/full/234/en
http://localhost/ez3/index.php/demo/content/view/full/234/hu
http://localhost/ez3/index.php/demo/content/view/full/234/de

i got content module not found msg !

this mean the language option will not work with url_alias, or what ?

as fetching the url, u get the template folder, content, view, and class name (full) , i think with the same way can get the language !

or maybe you should use preg_match, and for each language will be a code, to be sure this will not be used as artical name or what ever, and if preg match is true then set the language !

am sure your more expert than me with php, but my idae will look like this :

if(preg_match($REQUEST_URI, "en_lang")
{
// code to set the language to english //
}
elseif(preg_match($REQUEST_URI, "de_lang")
{
// code to set the language to dutch //
}
else
{
// get the defualt language from site.ini//
}

what you think ?
