Internationalization homepage translate

Permalink
Hi

I'm new to setting up internationalization on a concrete site, I'm using 8.1.0. my goal is to have a translated site with 3 languages (english default, Finnish and Russian). I have gone through documentation and followed various tutorials on how to set this up, the thing that I am struggling with is the homepage setup... I have a Tree for English, Finnish and Russian and a language switcher on the frontend. The problem I have is when i switch from English to Finnish on the english homepage the finnish page is set to English by default and I can't set the language to finnish??

The only way I could get a translated version was to add another page to sit under the finnish homepage and set it to finnish (which doesn't make much sense as the top page is english so the url looks like this /fi/fi (the second fi being the translated page).
