Thanks to WSN flexibility I am thinking and actually did try to change the link description on the category pages as well. I have an extra field to have a translation as well. With: <br><IF {VISITORLANGUAGE} is English>{LINKDESCRIPTION} <OTHERWISE IF {VISITORLANGUAGE} is Italian>{LINKITALIANDESC}</IF> <br></span> it works fine, but I need an IF statement to leave the english one if no italian one is present (all pages are described in english, but not all in Italian)
Essentially, the first IF needs to be nullified if no foreign langauge description is available for that listing.
<IF {VISITORLANGUAGE} is English or not {LINKITALIAINDESC}>
Multi-term conditionals are erratic, so if that gives you a parse error you'll have to turn it into PHP: <?php if ("{VISITORLANGUAGE}" == "English" or "{LINKITALIANDESC}" == "") { ?>
Good news that it can be done. Bad news is that I couldn't get it to work ; if no native langauge description is avail for some links, the description area stays blank when the english one ideally would show. (This is for the displaylinks.tpl.)
Before I go any further: will <IF {VISITORLANGUAGE} is English or not {LINKITALIAINDESC}> need to be inserted before, after or replace the
<IF {VISITORLANGUAGE} is English>{LINKDESCRIPTION} ....

Note for future readers:
<IF {VISITORLANGUAGE} is Shqip and {LINKSHQIPDESCBOOL}>{LINKSHQIPDESC}<OTHERWISE>{LINKDESCRIPTION}</IF>works.
