Sorry for asking, but, have you set "Item Associations" to "Yes" in the "Language Filter" plugin?

@smz - Yes I did.
I have updated the description as it seems that switching does not work for menu items pointing to Joomla components.
Tested Kunena and CB

OK, I suppose you mean "pointing to non Joomla components"...

Will look at this...

In the meanwhile can you please check if you have the same behavior applying #7286?

I can't reproduce that behavior with VirtueMart. All menu associations do work correctly in my case on my bilingual site with Joomla conservative cache enabled.

@Gitjk That makes me feell a little better...
I haven't got the time to test with 3rd party extensions, but will definitely do that...

@nickanti: I forgot to mention that if you want to check the behavior with #7286, you should enable the #7271 patch too (Language Filter)

I made some testing with a local copy of a site that uses several different components (K2 and Ohanah particularly have frontend menu items).

Originally this was a mono-lingual site and I transformed it into a bilingual site with menu items associated.

I couldn't find any problem with Joomla! 3.4.3: all menu items associations do work as expected for all installed components.

I have instead found a problem in my Language Switcher "Code review" (#7286) that unhappily is carried on from a similar modification I did in languagfilter.php. This currently has an impact only in the creation of rel="alternate" links, which are not created in some peculiar cases.

As stated above, anyway, no problems with the current Language Switcher and its creation of links for associated menu items.

... and maybe I'm not doing anything wrong: see #7286 (comment)

... and finally, yes I was making a mistake.

If you wish #7286 is now a different implementation that should give the same results as the current switcher (and thus it might be useful to you for checking the behavior with your component, @nickanti )

Update: Seems that issue is in fact due to bad configuration on my part.
I was using a system alias menu item in 2 languages pointing to the same component menu item set to all languages.

I was expecting this to work - but it did not.
I am guessing by design.

Can we close this then?

I would say YES Brian.

@nickanti No problems! I actually have to thank you as checking for this made me discover a mistake I did in my current PR regarding the language switcher! Talk about serendipity...
