I noticed that the "Static Pages" plugin has a "Language" field in the edit form in the backend, but I cannot see where it is used in the frontend.
I manually patched the plugin, so it uses it as the {$lang} variable in the public page, but I guess that is not the intended use for it ... well, it works for me, but I wonder what I might have broken by doing that.

Any pointers?

Hi!

The Language field is meant so that when people use multilingual blogs (with the languagechooser plugin, or simply when authors are logged in that have a different language set in their personal configuration). Using the field, staticpage entries can be created that each have a specific translation and will show up only in the currently active language...

Does that help?

Yes, that does help, thanks!
I do not have a multi language blog, so I plain forgot about that possibility. Just looks like me

I think something's broken with the plugin regarding multi-language support in the recent versions. I've been attempting to update old static pages and create new ones, but these all generate the following error:

Unknown column 'language' in 'field list'

Any ideas on resolving this issue would be appreciated.

Upon further analysis, the DB table indeed did not have 'language' column. It was somehow not added after the plugin was updated to use it. I manually inserted the column and now things work correctly.
