Support for multilanguage sites, Internationalization (I18N)

[lnickel]

I know Connie has asked this question but I've gone through writing up some code...with some help. I'm hoping I don't have to rewrite. I need some of the top most menu items not to have a link. I'm using custom rendering to do this for some of the child menu items.

Currently I have a component called links

PHP Code:

<li class="<?php echo $item->classes; ?>">
    <?php
          if ($item->nopage == 'noLink') {
                  echo htmlspecialchars($item->text);
                
          }
          elseif ($item->nopage == 'hasLink') { ?>
             <a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($item->link); ?>">
                <?php echo htmlspecialchars($item->text); ?>
              </a>
        
          <?php }
          
          else { ?>
             <a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($item->link); ?>">
                <?php echo htmlspecialchars($item->text); ?>
              </a>
      <?php }?>
          
        <?php if ($item->isOpen) { ?>
 
                <ul class="sub-menu"><?php $item->outputChildren(); ?></ul>
          <?php } ?>
</li> 


I'm using this in the navigation to print out the main li and its children in a div

PHP Code:

<li><?php get_i18n_link('investment-strategies'); ?>
                <div class="menu_dropdown_block full_width">
                    <ul><?php get_i18n_navigation('investment-strategies',1,100,I18N_SHOW_MENU, links); ?></ul>
                </div>
        
            </li> 


I really need investment strategies - the parent not to be a link

I know I'm using the get_i18n_link but what else is there??

Not sure where to begin with this Please HELP this php noob!!!
