The Menu trails module that is used for giving content a suitable position in the Drupal menu lacks a Drupal 7 version and it doesn't work all that well with multilingual sites. The Menu position module provides equal functionality, is still supported and even works better for multilingual sites.
I wrote a small drush command for migrating to Menu position. It will convert Menu trails rules to Menu position equivalents. In the simplest case you can just install the command to the ~/.drush directory and run "drush mt2mp".
