When you switch to Spanish, the permalinks change to add /es/ to the end. Depending on how the slide is setup, that could break a relative path to an included file and then break the slider too.

how can i fix this?
i was planning to do a french version as well.
do not want to start that unless it works correctly.
also on home page, i created english sliders then translated to spanish.
so i can 18 sliders. the moment i attached the image to one of the spanish sliders it adds it to the home page. so ihave 9 english and 1 spanish.
how do i correct this so only the spanish sliders go to spanishhomepage and the english sliders go only to the english homepage

how can I have two different slider/banners on my homepage.
Each slide has different verbiage.
I would like the Spanish verbiage to go to the Spanish page and english to english.
