I have customised my search_results to display either in French or English versions. In search calls, a parameter ...&lang=1 triggers french displays, of the type:

db.cgi?db=iris&do=search_results&keyword=*&ClassAbrev=TB&ClassAbrev-opt==&fm=long&mh=15&page=1&uid=default&Valid=3&lang=1

All templates work fine, with one exception. When a user does his own search, after I have offered him a French version customised search form with:

db.cgi?db=iris&do=search_form&lang=1&uid=default

if he clicks on search and will always get his results in English. I have investigated the search_options template possibilities but none seem to meet the requirement. Another solution would be to output the result to a different search_results template, and another thread on a similar subject involved modification of Home.pm - which I'll stay away from without expert help. Any suggestions?

(By way of thanks to TheStone for his great help, this site is now open (despite the above flaw) to all those who love irises)
