title: drupal 7 internationalisation il8n load node
body: <p>I'm a part-time developer (ranked Enthusiastic Amateur) and am trying to develop my first multilingual site in Drupal 7 using the Internationlisation (il8n) suite. <br/>
  After following the initial setup directions, I'm now trying to implement a "featured article" column where Articles flagged as Featured appear in a list in the right-hand column of the page. <br/>
  Ordinarily I'd simply do a "db_query" to return a list of node ids and then do a node_load() for each result. <br/>
  However, how do I do this using il8n to ensure that I'm pulling out the correct language versions of the Articles?</p>
  
  <p>Any and all help is greatly appreciated,
