Bikestore Multilanguage Problems

Hi there,

I have just installed Bikestore Quickstart Package at localhost.

After that I did what I have been told here
http://www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/j ... i-lingual/
to switch Joomla to Multilanguage Mode, installed is English and German.

My default language is german within this site. But I am having some problems here.

1. The mainmenu disappeared on all pages, in english and in german. When I try to add a new main menu module, the position "mainmenu" does not appear. I can publish the menu on every other position, but not at the mainmenu position. It is simply missing.

2. The english START - Page (Homepage) is just showing the two featured articles. But I want it to be as in the demo aka the german site. Mainmenu, Slideshow, two rows with VM - Articles, the banner positions and so on. What I have on the english page is the logo, the lang switcher, the cart position, search, then the two articles and after that just the copyright information.

Please advice and help
Thank you in advance

I have just found within the templates settings, that I have to select a menu to show under the "Menu" Tab.
If I select the Menu for ALL languages, it just shows me one Menu Link for the HOME ALL LANGUAGES that I have added there. But within the german and the english site.
If I select the german menu, it shows the menu as it should be, but also in the ENGLISH site I have the german menu.
Same thing when I am using the english menu.
I have read your Wiki Article, but I did all these steps.

Hi

You should follow this steps if You want to make it the way You are doing it right now: https://www.gavick.com/documentation/qu ... oomla-1-7/

Or You can use Falang component and have one menu only and just translate menu items to display different names when different language is selected.

Our templates has main menu integrated within the site, so there is no mainmenu position, becuase menu is not a module.
