How to remove item in Breadcrumb, something to do with langauges?
If I understand you correctly the actual problems is that "Missing text /navigation/startpage for en]" is outputted?
This is because there's no translation for the text resource key /navigation/startpage and can be fixed by adding it to the english language file in your sites lang folder. If no such file or folder exist you can either create one or copy it from a new EPiServer site with the Alloy templates.
If you on the other hand don't want the start page to be linked to in the breadcrums you can replace the following code:
// Generate the start page link
string startPageLinkUrl = Server.UrlPathEncode(GetPage(PageReference.StartPage).LinkURL);
string startPageLink = String.Format(_link, startPageLinkUrl , Translate("/navigation/startpagelinktitle"), Translate("/navigation/startpage") );
// Insert the startpage link and return
return breadCrumbsText.Insert(0, startPageLink).ToString();
with:
return breadCrumbsText.ToString();

Hi Joel,
By preference, I dont want it to appear at all, but after trying what you have suggested, the Missing text /navigation/startpage for en still appears.
Where abouts in the english language file do I put it, and what exactly do I have to put? (languageEN.xml I am assuming)
As always, many thanks for your help!

That's really strange. It looks pretty clear to me that that's where the link to the start page is added. I would fire up the site in debug mode and take a look at what's going on in the code you posted. Removing the snippet that I posted before really, really should work.
Regarding language file should look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<languages>
<language name="English" id="en">
<navigation>
<help>Help</help>
<listen>Listen</listen>
<readmore>Read more</readmore>
<search>Search</search>
<skipnavigation>Go to content</skipnavigation>
<startpage>Start</startpage>
<startpagelinktitle>To start page</startpagelinktitle>
</navigation>
</language>
</languages>

How do I either remove the /en part of my site, or set a homepage for this language? Or better still, remove it from my code so it ignores this bit?
Getting "Missing text /navigation/startpage for en]" / Actual Homepage appear using the default episerver breadcrumb. Code as follows.
namespace EPiServer.Templates.Public.Units.Static
{
/// <summary>
/// Provide links back to each previous page that the user navigated through in order
/// to get to the current page. In the case of the trail being too long, only the start page
/// parent pages below the <see cref="MaxLength"/> threshold are shown.
/// </summary>
public partial class BreadCrumbs : UserControlBase
{
private const string _link = "<a href=\"{0}\" title=\"{1}\">{2}</a>";
private string _separator = " / ";
private int _maxLength = 60;
/// <summary>

/// a shorter alternative is used where only the start page, parent page
/// and the current page are shown.

protected override void OnLoad(System.EventArgs e)
{
base.OnLoad(e);
Breadcrumbs.Text = GenerateBreabCrumbs(CurrentPage);
}

while (page != null && page.PageLink != PageReference.StartPage)
{

breadCrumbsText.Insert(0, Separator + "...");
break;
}
// Insert the link at beginning of the bread crumbs string
breadCrumbsText.Insert(0, Separator + GetLink(page));
// Get next visible parent

// Generate the start page link

string startPageLink = String.Format(_link, startPageLinkUrl , Translate("/navigation/startpagelinktitle"), Translate("/navigation/startpage") );
// Insert the startpage link and return
return breadCrumbsText.Insert(0, startPageLink).ToString();
