Metris Theme - Problem with header / footer

Permalink
Hi,
I'm new to concrete5 and i have a strange problem.
i have a problem on the theme "Metris", and on the details:
my site map is:

1.%sitename%

1.1.%Home%
1.1.1.%About Us%
1.1.2.%Contact Us%
1.1.3.%Our Mission%

1.2.%Accueil%
1.2.1.%À propos%
1.2.2.%Contacter%
1.2.3.%Notre Mission%

The "Home" page and all subpages relevant, has the page type "Full EN".
The "Accueil" page and all subpages relevant, has the page type "Full FR".
I tried to fix the header and footer on every page type, so on "Full En" i want to set auto nav english and footer with english text, and on "Full FR" i want to set auto nav frensh and footer with frensh text.
When i edited the "Full En" and publish my edits, the changes will effect on the frensh pages.
So the header and footer is fixing on the theme and not on the page type specific.
If you need to test mywebsite:

please can anyone help me to resolve this issue, thanks for any help, and sorry for the long post (and for my bad english).

I suspect you are editing a global header that, because it is global, is helpfully being global across the 2 language trees of the site.

Maybe someone with more experience of internationalisation can comment on what should be happening with internationalisation and global headers? Are they are supposed to remain global across all language trees?

If so, you will need to think laterally for a solution. Some possibilities:

- Maybe just don't have language specific content in the global header (simple).

- There is a Multi-Lingual Content Block with built in language capabilities.

- Edit your theme to attach the language key to the area name if it is not English, thus having a header that automatically creates and uses an alternate language specific global area (that may cause editing issues). eg: "Global Header", "Global Header FR"

- Create a clone of your theme and rename it (and all global areas), then use that cloned theme for the French tree of the site. So like the above, but controlled by the theme selected rather than the branch of the site.
