Hello everyone!
I trying to do a multilangual shop like in tutorials.
All translations are work well, but in virtumeart category or product details, when i'm changing the language, it goes to the main page. I googled this problem, but there was no positive results.
Does anybody knows what i'm doing wrong, or it's a bug?

joomla 2.5.11
Virtuemart 2.0.22a
php 5.5.1

If you are redirected to the homepage it's usually because a category menu item is missing in one of your languages or one or more language tags are not set in the menu item configuration.

English VM menu item can't be associated cos English content language is unpublished (maybe get rid of English Language and English Menus then?).
In Language Filter plugin option Automatic Language Change is off (not good).
VM versions is not latest (not 2.0.22e). So latest language fixes is not applied.

@Maxim
Personally I prefer to switch the automatic language selection off and let the user decide which language he wants to read. Because I use an english language operating system on my computer, automatic language detection on Websites often assumes that I want to read english/american content and redirect me to the the U.S. website, when I actually want to read the (different) content on the company's german website. Or the system tells me "This content is not available in English", because the automatic language switcher ignores that I clicked on a german language link, etc...

Thank you for the tip, JJK! Never thought about that.
BTW, Sandum150, you need to get rid of VM menu item in your menus with the global main page (topmenu).

Sorry Maxim, maybe i don't understand so well english, but i couldn't resolve the problem. Maybe i don't understand what you mean.
I deleted all menu items from "topmenu" out of main page (there is no way to delete it), but the problem is still present.
Could you tell me step by step what i have to do? Please...
