Description

"Also... how do I link a page I created in another page?"

For linking to other content on the site, I wanted to research what's best on a multilingual site, and haven't had a chance yet. But I'm fairly certain the best way is to do it directly to the node in the relevant language (in Drupal 5 each translation gets its own node, sadly) and to skip the language prefix.

So you are in /eng/node/55 and want to link to node 43 which is a node in English, your best bet is to link to <a href="/node/43">node 43's title</a> dropping the language prefix, so as not to override the user interface translation chosen by someone navigating the site.
