[TYPO3-ttnews] News URLs not translated with cookie

[adam harvie]

Thanks Björn. I suspected something like that may be the case.

We do in face use the linkVars for the rest of the site. We wanted to avoid
having multiple 'home' URLs however, so use the cookie just on the front
page.

I have a custom tt_news extension to produce some extra markers, which I
adapted to fix this situation. I was hoping there would be a configuration
solution, but this will do.

Thanks for the feedback.
