6.7a Linking files across languages

Policy

The link to an active Web page, i.e. the one you are currently on, should 'appear' clicked, but still be linked. Links to the other language versions should be managed consistently. For example, if a user is on a page of a Web site and then clicks on the French language icon, the page should change to the French equivalent and not revert to the home page of the French Web site, i.e. "index_fr.htm". The language link should only appear when the relative language page is available.
