Curiouser and curiouser!

No SQL errors (unless I provoke one by adding an erroneous field to the 
list, just to check that debug is properly activated).

No better whether I remove author/author_email or add them back.

However, more precision in the problem is now apparent.

I hadn't noticed before, but have noticed now (have added some more 
translations), that menu titles are translated if the current page has a 
translated title/nav_title. But no menu titles are translated if the current 
page has only an English title/nav_title.

This has the effect that a German visitor, who selects the German language, 
see German titles for most pages, but if they visit a page without a 
translation then the whole menu changes to English, even for those pages 
which have German titles/nav_titles and German content. This cannot be 
correct.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
