I made a nifty resume on my tiddlyspace, in Portuguese but with the intention to later add a version in English. I put the main index in the SiteSubtitle to easily navigate from the [[resume]], to [[work history]], to [[contact]] (all in Portuguese, linking to tiddlers in Portuguese). I put it there because it's always there at the top, no matter what tiddler is displayed. It seemed a good idea at the time...
Now that I want to add the English version, I thought it would be best to put an [[EN]] link in the SiteSubtitle that swaps the SiteSubtitle for one with links in English to tiddlers in English (that includes a link to switch it back to Portuguese). I don't know how to do that.
To make matters complicated, the current default is the Portuguese but now I would rather make the English version the default. What needs to be done to accomplish this? I was going to try to avoid linking to a new site and maintaining them separately because the tags in each would be isolated and duplicated (I tagged all tiddlers with [[Portuguese]] with the intention of tagging the English versions as such.
If the only way is really convoluted, maybe I need to re-think my strategy and start over again. At least that way I have an excuse to start fresh with TW5.
Thank you

Here's a quick way to achieve the results you want:
1) Create a tiddler called [[SetSiteSubtitle]] with the following HTML content:
------------------------------
<html><input type="button" value="$1" title="$2" style="cursor:pointer" onclick="
store.setValue('SiteSubtitle','text','<<tiddler SiteSubtitle$1>>');
"></html>
------------------------------
2) Create [[SiteSubtitleEN]] containing:
------------------------------
This is in English <<tiddler SetSiteSubtitle with: "PT" "Change to Portuguese">>
------------------------------
3) Create [[SiteSubtitlePT]] containing:
------------------------------
Isto é em Português <<tiddler SetSiteSubtitle with: "EN" "Mudar para Inglês">>
------------------------------
4) Set the content of [[SiteSubtitle]] to transclude the desired default, like this:
<<tiddler SiteSubtitleEN>>
That's it. You should now be able to toggle between the two alternative SiteSubtitleEN and SiteSubtitlePT definitions with a single click!
enjoy,

This is great! Thank you so much!
Two notes:
While executing your directions, I discovered that my site anatomy was wrong, the thing I really need to change is the MainMenu - so I just did everything you said exchanging SiteSubtitle for MainMenu (I discovered that the siteSubtitle is obscured by the mainMenu - this is probably because I must have moved it to the top if it was by default to the left side - I don't really remember from a year ago.) Two notes:
because they came out swapped on rendering the button (and setting the tiddler suffix. Not exactly sure why (at this late hour) but the bottom line:

After having slept peacefully with this solution, I realized this morning that there is still something that I did not think about.
After re-writing the MainMenu transclusion, what should happen next is to open the corresponding DefaultTiddler (English or Portuguese version). I could easily use the same technique but I doubt that DefaultTiddler will run again and open the right tiddler, as it is defined as the setting that opens the default tiddler when the app is first loaded, so I am thinking that isn't the way to go. There must be a macro that calls the right tiddler after the menu reloads, but I have not been able to find it in the Help.
