Problem with authentication and i18n

> Maybe the stored cookies are valid only for a host name

Yes, by default, a cookie is limited to the hostname. You may change your siteaccess selection to something like www.example.com/fr www.example.com/de to be able to share the session between the different siteaccess.
You should also have a look to the session configuration:

> the language code is not available to all my templates
I'm not sure to understand your question. May be getting the settings with the ezini operator is sufficient: ezini('RegionalSettings','locale') or something similar.

> Is there a common variable which stores the current host url
Yes, ezsys is the operator you are looking for. Have a look to the documentation:

Good luck,

You're welcome.

You're right, a cookie on "example.com" should work for every sub-domain. The main problem here is that you can not configure this in eZPublish. If you really want this, you have to hack the session's library. You also may send a request for enhancement for this feature at http://issues.ez.no
