[TYPO3-english] Dynamic multilanguage

Hi Ernesto,

Don't really know if I understand your question but I did this once to 
let me generate the menu in an arbitrary language:

# Create a translated TMENU
lib.menu.intranet.1 = TMENU
lib.menu.intranet.1 {
	# Forcing the sys_language_uid is handled by class ux_tslib_menu
	# This value will be overriden for each language configuration
	sys_language_uid = -1

	...
}

with:

class ux_tslib_tmenu extends tslib_tmenu {

	/**
	 * Forces the localization of the menu according to 
$this->mconf['sys_language_uid] (if present).
	 *
	 * @see typo3/sysext/cms/tslib/tslib_tmenu#writeMenu()
	 */
	public function writeMenu()	{
		if (isset($this->mconf['sys_language_uid'])) {
			foreach ($this->menuArr as $key => $val) {
				$this->menuArr[$key] = 
$this->sys_page->getPageOverlay($this->menuArr[$key], 
$this->mconf['sys_language_uid']);
			}
		}
		return parent::writeMenu();
	}
	
}

Perhaps this helps...
