Hi Harry,

I have now found a solution that worked for me...

The scenario that you describe happens if you define a language record 
which is the same as your default language.

In other words you you ONLY have to create the language records for the 
extra languages.

NB: The default language I define like this:


sys_language_uid = 0
language = de
locale_all = de_DK

(No offence ;-) )

Hope it works for you too.

Kind Regards

Jens
