Hi Miguel,

In your TS there is no part that would load the pictures from anywhere 
or wrap them with the right parameters to generate the appropriate links 
etc... let me see... this works for me in one installation... (part of 
the TS)

config.linkVars = L
config.sys_language_uid = 1
config.language = de
config.htmlTag_langKey = de
config.locale_all = de_DE

[globalVar = GP:L = 1]
config.sys_language_uid = 1
config.language = de
config.htmlTag_langKey = de
config.locale_all = de_DE
[global]

[globalVar = GP:L = 4]
config.sys_language_uid = 4
config.language = en
config.htmlTag_langKey = en
config.locale_all = en_GB
[global]

temp.langmenu = COA
temp.langmenu {
     10 = TEXT
     10 {
         value = Sprache 
         lang.de = Sprache 
         lang.en = Language 
         wrap = <li> | </li>
     }
     20 = HMENU
     20 {
         special = language
         special.value = 1,4
         1 = GMENU
         1 {
             NO = 1
             NO {
                 allWrap = <li> | </li>
                 XY = 25,15
                 10 = IMAGE
                 10.file = fileadmin/ee_pics/de.gif || 
fileadmin/ee_pics/gb.gif
             }
             ACT < .NO
             ACT = 1
             ACT {
                 NOLINK = 1
             }
         }
     }
}

(The installation is ready to use Spanish and Russian as well...)

You don't need any extension for that.
