Hi Björn,

usually the extension sr_language_menu reflects only faults in the setup 
and doesn't implement faults by itself, so the fault always is in the 
general setup.

Having setup two languages and one as default the Language-Parameter 
isn't submitted because it's default - turning realUrl of should show it 
for testing. Here is the fault in the setup: You've defined L:0 and L:1 
but not what happens without L concerning the language-setup (you have 
only translated some expressions for this case).

Here is a snippet of a language-setup of mine whereas the first 
paragraph is missin in yours:

config {
     linkVars = L
     sys_language_overlay = 1
     sys_language_uid = 0
     htmlTag_langKey = de
     language = de
     locale_all = de_DE
     metaCharset = utf-8
#    renderCharset = utf-8
}



[globalVar = GP:L = 0]
config {
     sys_language_uid = 0
     language = de
     locale_all = de_DE
     htmlTag_langKey = de
}

[globalVar = GP:L = 6]
config {
     sys_language_uid = 6
     language = ar
     locale_all = ar_AR
     htmlTag_langKey = ar
}
[global]


Hope it helps ;)

Best Regards
David
