Have you tried changing languages from en to fr from the opac using the ntl
template? Don't on a production version using Firefox on Suse in 2.2.3:
there are no fr templates, the system crashes and the only way to recover is
to change templates from the intranet interface. I could not understand the
code in the relevant page (which I am unwilling to try to find again ... :-)
It uses <TEMPL_IF> without qualifying the ...IF.

But wouldn't it be better to list the alternatives using something like
"while (defined (my $language=readdir(TEMPLATE_DIR))){...}", rather than
listing the alternatives in the main script, so that only the alternative
languages that actually exist for a particular set of templates are
displayed?
