How to stop menu links being disabled after saving nodes?

Question

A localised Drupal 7 site I'm working on has a navigation menu along the top. Each node is provided with a menu link with a given weight. Nodes are translated into three (non-English) languages (the admin language is English). The nodes show on the menu correctly depending on the current language.

Whenever I edit a node (eg edit the title, body) and click Save, its links disappears from the menu.

The same thing happens if I edit a node but don't actually change anything, then click Save.

I can re-enable it by:

1. Edit the node again
2. Untick the menu link
3. Save
4. Edit the node yet again
5. Tick the menu link (re-filling the title/weight)
6. Save again

Or:

1. Go to admin/structure/menu/manage/main-menu
2. All the other menu links are enabled, but the recently saved is not and has "(disabled)" after its name
3. Tick the box to re-enable
4. Save configuration

But how can I stop menu links from being disabled when a node is edited?

Answer 1

Here's a quick fix:

1. Download version 1.7 of i18n.

2. Unzip it and find the folder named i18n_menu

3. Go to your site's modules directory (could be /sites/all/modules/) Find the folder i18n

4. Replace the subfolder i18n/i18n_menu with the version from version 1.7 you downloaded in step 1

Answer 2

It's a bug in the latest version 1.8 of i18n Martins Bertins' patch fixed this for me.

But its parent bug has been released in the latest dev version, and installing that fixed it as well.
