I've made some updates in my repository, but it seems like we are still having problems with xLanguage, i.e. sometimes you have to click on the flag in order to see the the language without the tags.

But check out the changes that I've made - when I click on the flag, it works on the front end.

Hello,

I don't know if it's related but the problem with xlanguage is that it processes the tags right before display. Let's imagine that the module makes a php break in the text (the php code takes the first 50 characters):

[en]My text of more than 50 characters [/en][fr]Mon texte de plus de 50 caractères [/fr]

It will transmit to xlanguage:

[en]My text of more than 50 characters...

And this is the beginning of the problems! He cannot close the tags!

To correct the problem, the module must clean the tags before processing the length of the text!

This is how I did for my modules:

If modules don't do this, they won't be able to work properly with xlanguage.

Today there are no other possible solutions...

Thank you very much Mage and Mamba
