As far as I understand this is a result of creating NL pages without respecting Silvertripes concept of multilingual websites. All English pages with content, that is relevant for any other language, should have a corresponding translated page for any other language. These translations will show up on the English page under "Available translations of this page:" Additionally the NL sites can have optional pages with special content, that is only relevant for the respective NL community. So, IMO, there shouldn´t be only one or two pages of the English main site, that point to one or two translations, but almost every English page should point to as many translations as there are NL sites. (There is probably need for a different layout of the translation links, though.) Of course we could have a completely independant website for each language, without linked translations. But this would mean to ignore the functionality of the CMS. And it would mean to lose a workflow, that would facilitate changes on the main site to be followed on the NL subsites as well. By the way: AFAIR, there should be a feature, that people, calling up a page on the main site, will automatically be redirected to the appropriate translated page, according to their browsers locale information - or something like that. This has just not been activated yet. Or am I wrong?
