[TYPO3] Simultaneous multi-language content?

[Adam Harvie]

Hi all,

Setting up a bilingual Typo3 site. We run news updates via tt_news, 
which works in both languages no problem. We also put our latest 
headlines on the front page, in both languages:

News:
Location(en)/Location(fr)
Headline in English (links to article) / Headline in French (links to fr 
article)

Is there any clever trick I could do to get the latest news from tt_news 
in both languages?
We do something similar with the navigation - the front page displays 
each section in both languages, and then the person makes an implicit 
decision by clicking one, and thereafter the menu is in one language 
only. I tried to get a bilingual auto-generated menu by doing this in TS:

#set up bilingual menu
#set up french section
config.sys_language_uid = 4
config.language = fr
temp.fr_menu = HMENU
temp.fr_menu.1 = TMENU
temp.fr_menu.1 {
	NO.allWrap = <p class="frontPageNavLink"> | </p>
	NO.stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars = 1

}
#set up english section
config.sys_language_uid = 0
config.language = fr

temp.en_menu = HMENU
temp.en_menu.1 = TMENU
temp.en_menu.1 {
     normal state - no submenu
     NO.allWrap = <p class="frontPageNavLink"> | </p>
     NO.stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars = 1
}

But no dice. I'm not the world's greatest expert in TS, but I figure 
that I'm taking the wrong approach to extracting content in a particular 
language. Any advice?

Thanks,
Adam
