Allmost 30 views later and no reaction, my question was either stupid or unclear. One more try ...
I use three languages (en, de, nl), in the website navigation I use a dropdown language with flag of active language (var $language).
If I set the language on start or parent page it works but if I set this from a childpage it works half, the menu is in right language but my dropdown language goes back to the default language. In other words it seems like var $language is no longer initiated.
Anybody a clue?

$language is the language of the currently selected page. So if you have switched to german with "?setlang=de", but the current page has no german version, $language will be "en".
You could use the following code (accessing "internal" functionality) to get the currently "preferred" language:
Code:
$mylanguages = I18nFrontend::getLanguages();
$mylanguage = $mylanguages[0];

Thx mvlcek, your code works perfect (as usual).
Hi Rene,
I need also a dropdown menu with three languages and flags.
I'm very familiar with css & html, but not with programming.
Could you explain how you implemented it, but just as easy as possible and step through :-)
Thx a lot in advance!
