I am changing this from a cry for help to something that can help others in the same situation. The problem is described here, and at the end I am describing the solution I finally found:
I am working on a new site and some odd things are happening. I have updated everything I can think of to the latest available versions, but I am still unable to find the solution to the problem.

 

Joomla 1.5.23K2 2.41JoomFish 2.1.7

Template: RocketTheme Panacea, modified

 

It is best illustrated by checking the site:

 

www.cadernosnietzsche.unifesp.br/

 

Something is definitely not right here - click on the Brazilian flag and suddenly the sub template gets loaded. So...www.cadernosnietzsche.unifesp.br/pt

loads a subtemplate together with it's own css.

 

while

 

www.cadernosnietzsche.unifesp.br/

 

and

 

www.cadernosnietzsche.unifesp.br/en

 

does not load this subtemplate even if they clearly should do so it is the same category, just with translated content.This strikes me as very odd and I do not understand why it happens.
Here is what solved it in the end:First I found this post:http://www.joomfish.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=7907Of course, I had to go hear to check it:http://community.getk2.org/forum/topics/joomfish-menu-translationand I changed the menu.xml that was mentioned in there, even if it is a two-year old fix.

 

This did not fix my problem. I read that it seems Joomfish is messing up the links for the menu, and as one of the links was not completely translated, I opened it to check. At the very bottom, I found the complete menu link, and noticed that the original and translated one were different. So I simply clicked the copy button to copy over the original, saved and reloaded the page. Voila - problem solved.You would have to do this for every menu item for it to work correct. I'll get back with more information later if anything changes.
