Still getting a lot of:
66.249.65.7 - - [23/Jan/2010:04:00:45 +0100] "GET /ja/sv/showthread.php?t=6853&page=2 HTTP/1.1" 200 195783 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)"
I can see Google already indexed such wrong links (from the time when vbseo canonical was disabled because it didnt work) and perhaps sometimes are revisiting some of them. However this particular url dosent seem to be in the index already so Google is getting it from somwhere.
Try and go to the link ( お気に入りの開幕戦-ページ2 (http://www.thegame-online.dk/ja/sv/showthread.php?t=6853&page=2) ) and mouseover the flags, you will see wrong urls in the page source.
Some links on such a page are normal some are not (search for /ja/sv in source). Going to a double flag link will go to the first language in the double folder and the canonical link is corrosponding to the first language folder in the url = the correct language. So the bug is not so bad - hopefully Google will adhere to the canonical url. But still it is a little messy ;)
1. We need to find the cause how such links arise about and prevent it from happening.
2. We need to correct flag links once Googlebot reach such a page because it already have such urls in the index (meaning resolving 1. will not prevent 2.).
vbetflag- issue seems to be ok :)
