 * When I change the language of my website and then I go to [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com)(
   the home page) the language gets reset to the default language.

 * We you select a specific language, its information is added to the URL. If you
   go to another URL which lacks this language information, the default language
   is used instead.
 * What you describe seems to be the correct behavior of the plugin.
    If you go 
   to your home page through a link in your template, maybe this link is not correctly
   generated.

 * I’m not talking about changing of page trough a link. I said just back to [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com)
   on the explorer.

 * That’s what I explained in the first place in my previous post.
    The URL must
   contain language information if you do intend to see your website in another 
   language than the default one. Without language information, the default language
   is used.
 * If mqTranslate is configured in Pre-Path mode, you should use for example:
    [http://www.example.com/fr/](http://www.example.com/fr/)
 * Or in Query mode:
    [http://www.example.com/?lang=fr](http://www.example.com/?lang=fr)

 * I think that without language information the plugin should detect the language
   automatically.
