Redirects broken after adding the language pack

Today I decided to add a Spanish Language pack to my store. Two small banners on the home page have redirects to others pages on the site. These links work fine under the English default, but are broken when using the Spanish language. How do I correct this?

Banner 1: DNJ FASHION IS MOBILE
Banner 2: FREE JEWELRY

Re: Redirects broken after adding the language pack

What version of Zen Cart is your store?
Which language pack did you install/from where?
Have you tried this on a vanilla installation?

Re: Redirects broken after adding the language pack

What I see is that your "banner" redirects to an ez-page. The default ezpage option of a ZC site (at least pre 1.5.3) doesn't exactly offer multi-language ez-pages. Further, when the ez-page was shown and it was attempted to change to spanish at that time an alternate language ez-page didn't show... I haven't pulled up the ez-pages admin area to try to help resolve this, but at least to prevent the white screen if you have the banner forward to the page/link you currently have and add &language=en to the end then at least there wouldn't be a white page, but there would be on english in the text. Otherwise, need to get the banner to be in spanish with it's own redirect to a spanish ez-page...

But it would be that much more helpful to answer torvista's questions. Oh there is a multilanguage ezpage add-on, but again, not sure if it is needed under 1.5.3 or not, I haven't looked to see if multilanguage issues with ezpages have been resolved without the add-in.
