I think I have a solution for that! It’s not the prettiest one but at least it’s quite easy and it doesn’t involves changing plugins codes, making their updates so tough.

What I did was that I created a new category named “Home”, for instance, with the exactly same content as what would be the “original” home (the Index). Than I have set the other categories (services and contact, for example) as childs of that recently created category “Home”. Last but not least, I set the Breadcrumb NavXT to not show the original “Home” (my Index) in it’s options. Also, don’t forget to place a noindex,nofollow attribute on the recently created Home category page meta, just to be sure it won’t be indexed as duplicated content by the search robots. You can use the Robots Meta Plugin for that.

If you do that, BNXT you show the Home link, but it won’t redirect to the Index and it’s default language, but rather to the Home Page (as a parent category) of the currently selected language. For the website’s visitor the experience is pretty much the same and they won’t even notice what happened.

Off course there’s a lot of things you may want to refine latter for it to work and look exactly the way you expect (permalinks, for example), but doing just that is already a good way of having qtranslate and BNXT working together with no major problems. Besides, with the attributes on the meta that page is only important for human visitors, which makes things like the Title and the Permalinks a little less important, if not changed.

Hope I can help someone.
