You'll need to install all necessary languages packs for Joomla! To do that browse to Backend -> Extensions -> Language Manager -> Install language.Ģ. So to avoid that we need to take a special approach.

It's because menu item with lowest menu item ID is restricted to certain language only and Joomla! will try to load it even if your in different language. So if you are in language (e.g English) and click in "JomSocial Toolbar " certain link - you may be redirected to home page, or receive error notice (404 error page) or language will be switched involuntary (to e.g German). That will cause redirection/linking issues as JomSocial will take the lowest menu item ID for certain page. Joomla! documentation says that you need to create separated menu for each language - that means you'll have few different menu items linking to the same page in JomSocial (each for different language). That may cause issues when you want to have links in site main menu to certain JomSocial pages AND multilingual community.

It's inherited from parent menu item - usually it's JomSocial home/frontpage - that is located outside "JomSocial Toolbar Menu". JomSocial is using "JomSocial Toolbar Menu" for internal communication so all menu items within it doesn't have own menu item ID.
