[drupal-support] using international module?

[D_C]

hiya -

are there any docs on end-user using the internationalization module?

I have it installed + seems to be working, but not sure how to remap
node URLs etc.

There seems to be some behind-the-scenes creation of new nodes, but i
want to be able to explicity reference what is created.
eg
en/top
jp/top

-- flag icon
also, how to control the visibility of the little "flag" icon - can this
be added to the main navigation template of the site?

-- language setting
it doesnt seem to "stick". eg if you are looking at a page in one
language, then click a link to go to another page, it goes to the en
version of that page... is there a way of referencing the translation?
eg node/32/en

-- template parts
can $site_name $site_slogan etc be translated?

-- language switcher?
is there a way to trigger the language setting that is buried in the
users configuration? eg with a GET url so i could create a link
something like:
	<A href=setLang.php?lang=jp>JP</a>
and then write a script to dig into this?

-- anonymous user lang settings?

thanks for any info!
