[TYPO3] Why doesn't it stay with the same language?

Just try to hold the language param for all links:
in the setup-section of your template insert the line
	config.linkVars = L

in general:
	config.linkVars = var1, var2
to make these GET-params sticky in the URL.

this will work only if the link is build up by the typo3-link-building
function. 
e.g.:
$this->pi_linkToPage($linkcontent
		    ,$url	//page-id or external-url
		    ,$target=''
		    ,$additionalparams=array()	// array(key1=>value1, key2
=> value2)
		    );


Extensions which build up their links themself will loose these params :-(
e.g.:
'index.php?id='.$GLOBALS['TSFE']->id.'&L='.$GLOBALS['TSFE']->sys_language_uid;
(bad style!!!!)
