[TYPO3-english] Problem with sr_language_menu and realurl on multilingual website

[Björn Wendeler]

I have several multilingual websites that use realurl and sr_language_menu
to change between the languages installed.

The problem is, that if you are on one page, e.g. the homepage and you click
on the english-flag to change to the english version of the homepage,
everything works fine.
Example:
http://www.example.com/de/startseite/
becomes
http://www.example.com/en/homepage/
But when you click onto the German flag now, the URL should be
/de/startseite/ again, but it becomes /de/homepage/. This happens on other
pages/subpages as well.
The basic functionality of the website is given of course, all contents are
displayed correctly in the chosen language. But for SEO reasons this is
definetely bad, since this results in "double content".

Does anybody face the same problem and does anyone have a suggestion how to
fix this?

You can see this behaviour here:

Specs: 
TYPO3              4.4.0

German is default language (L=0), English 2nd language (L=1).
