Update on Jan 6, 2009:

The gallery title display is fixed to work with language switcher with changes make to admin\album.php.  Inside function getgallerycontainer(), add the following changes in red:

ID: ‘.$gallery->gid.’ || Title: ‘. apply_filters( ‘the_title’, $gallery->title) .’
<p><strong>’.__(‘Title’, ‘nggallery’).’ : </strong>’.apply_filters( ‘the_title’, $gallery->title).’</p>

The above addition make the gallery title pass thru the language switcher filter to display only the title in the selected language.

I have found that the nextgen gallery cannot display the bilingual gallery titles in the album view.  Looking at the code in the nextgen gallery’s function.php, there is a filter missing for the display of gallery information.  This bit of code is located near the end of function nggShowAlbum($albumID, $sortorder, $mode = “extend”).  The following is the changes make to the code:

$out = apply_filters(‘the_content’, apply_filters(‘ngg_show_album_content’, $out, intval($albumID)));
return $out;

The bit of code in red is added so that the gallery information will be filtered by language switcher to make multi language display correctly.
