 * Hello
 * I can switch between languages without any problem. However, when I enter another
   page it will go back to default, which in my case is English.
 * How do I prevent this from happening.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * I still need help with this one, thanks!
 * When a user sets the language on a page, it shouldn’t go back to the default 
   language when entering another page on the website.

 * Hi !
    I have exactly the same issue. As a reader, once I select a language, I
   get the language requested and the menu appear in the right language. But as 
   soon as I select an other page from the menu, it comes back to the default language,
   and the menu comes back to the default language too… I would like my visitors
   not to have to select the language everytime they want to see an other page. 
   Once you select a language, it should keep your selection during all your navigation,
   I am right ? Would be great if someone has any idea to address that… Except this
   little issue, it’s an excellent pluggin!

 * I’ve created menus for all the languages that I have, and I’m changing the URLs
   for each menu. In that way, once you select a language, it won’t go back to the
   default one.

 * Hello Andreas,
    I have the same problem. I also created a menu for every language
   I have but I don’t understand what you mean by changing the URLs for each menu.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi , i have almost but slightly different problem. i have 2 languages on my WP
   website: Dutch and English, the first one is the default one. I have translated
   all my dutch pages in english and created 2 menus (one with the dutch pages and
   1 with the English pages). there is a language switch at the end of each menu
   to switch to the other language. Everything work perfectly as long as i select
   menu items without a submenu. the menu remains in English setting after selecting
   the english language switch. but as soon as i select a submenu item in the english
   meny, the menu itself switches back to the dutch menu, which is obviously not
   what i want.
    any hints? thanks, peter
