hi again esau,
thanks for the details. i am not really seeing a big issue with your site, only that for example you have a roktabs module on the frontpage, but only for spanish and not for english, so there is no roktabs module showing when switching to english.
i also did not see a blank page (blank page = totally blank screen, nothing to see at all)
can you give me a VERY exact example on what is not showing for you they way you want it?
please don't reinstall yet, i think it's just very simple things that we need to do.
thanks, kat

Thank you for your reply Kat,
The spanish language switcher works like charm when published (it says Selector de Idiomas), but if you publish the english language switcher, which is configured to display when english language is active, is when the blank page appears. Sorry I didn't publish both modules for you at that moment, but I wasn't sure at which time you'd log into the admin panel, and as I said before, I wouldn't like to keep both language modules active for a long period of time because customers would notice that the english version is not working.
I tell you what, I'll leave the english language switcher module published during this whole day so you can check the website again to see what I'm talking about. Hope you find some more time in your agenda for this Kat.
Thanks for your help!

Hey Kat! I read several tuts and there are some who recommend publishing one module for each language, so that users can actually read and understand the titles.
Anyways, I've already tried publishing only the "Selector de Idiomas" language switcher module, set for all languages and I still get the same error, and I don't know why
I've disabled both modules for now, as I don't think this issue will be solved during the weekend, but if you still get a chance to check out my website in the following week, feel free to publish them both or do whatever you need to find where the mistake is.
I trully appreciate the time you're taking to help me on this matter Kat,
Best regards!!

hi again,
looks like you played some more with your site? i do not see any associated menu items anymore. and when i enable the 'selector de idiomas' language switcher, then it does not show up? also wondering why you use 3 different template styles instead of only 2?
please try to set this up again as it was before when i looked last time.
thanks, kat

Hello again Kat,
Thank you for your patience. I've already switched the menu items associations exactly as they were before, and the switcher language module (selector de idiomas) should be working correctly for now. It is currently set for spanish, but if you want, you're always welcome to set it up for all languages.
According to several tuts i've read about multilingual sites, including those for rockettheme and specifically the roknavmenu, I noticed that i had to copy my template twice, so that I get in the end one template for spanish, one for english, and the master template set for all languages. I don't know if I misunderstood the instructions or if it just wasn't necessary to do so. Anyways, thanks for your replies Kat!
