No
What you want?
1. Menutext of that page different for different menu? Maybe you want a "alias" of this page, same content but a different menutext, title, in other tree part ....
2. Menutext of that page different for any "language" menu? Maybe you have a wrong MLE installation, try with 1.6 MLE
3. ?

I think that you have not understand what do {menu} tag (or MenuManager module)
MenuManager display your partial or full tree (that you display in List Content page of admin part)
I advice you to read and try:

Sorry for my poor understanding but i ma not able to define menus and add page link on menus.
Suppose I have create one page for my top menu HOME and give the menu tet Home. But this Home Menu text also appear in my left menu. pls Suggest me how can i avoid this.
This is the the code i have used to display top menu item but client is not happy with this approach.
{if $count > 0}
{php} $page = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];$this->assign('page',$page);{/php}
{foreach from=$nodelist item=node}
{if $node->id != 65 && $node->id !=66 && $node->id !=67 && $node->id !=68 && $node->id !=69 && $node->id != 70 && $node->id != 71 && $node->id != 72}
{php} global $count_item; $count_item=3; $this->assign('varX',$count_items); {/php}
{ if $varX is not odd }
{ /if }
url eq $page} class="back" {/if}>url}" {if $node->target ne ""} target="{$node->target}"{/if}>{$node->menutext}
{ if $varX is not even}
{ /if }
{php}$count_items=$count_items+1; {/php}
{/if}
{/foreach}
{/if}
Following are node ids who belongs to my left and footer menu.
{if $node->id != 65 && $node->id !=66 && $node->id !=67 && $node->id !=68 && $node->id !=69 && $node->id != 70 && $node->id != 71 && $node->id != 72}

...........
Move because is not MLE related.

I can say: I'm glad to see a vivid imagination but sorry it's not right way .....
(logic in presentation and ... next time that you add a new page or delete page id 66 and re-add a new page??? you must following always your editors ...)
Follow my advices:
-
DROP php tag from template and use smarty sintax
-
READ MenuManager documentation and look for examples
-
READ MenuManager help for usefull params

ok thank you for your kind support. I think first i have to learn deeply then go for development.
But i am joomla 1.5 developer and certainly shifted in this cms with a live project. so i am little bit worry.
OK anyway thanks alot for your quick replies.
