The snippet from plugin:translation was added to the dokuwiki theme.

When using the language selector to switch in between de: and en: url-rewriting would not work properly.
We where getting of en:start, start/?id=de:start and de:start, start/?id=en:start\\.

We found the problem to be that script.js expects the base-url to end with / when url-rewriting is active. In our case However, it end with /start.

We implemented the following workaround to fix this:

/var/www/wiki/lib/plugins/translation/script.js

        // this should hopefully detect rewriting good enough:
        var action = $frm.attr('action');
        if(action.substr(action.length-1) == '/'){
            var link = action + id;
        }

was replaced with:

        // this should hopefully detect rewriting good enough:
        var action = $frm.attr('action').replace('/start', '/');
        if(action.substr(action.length-1) == '/'){
            var link = action + id;
        }
