Working with 6.5.5 2024
by webig·1 year ago
This is a lifesaver…I had a problem with the footer translations…only one footer translation for all languages…not even polylang was able to fix it..well partially we fixed that…but only for pages and posts…for an ecom store…product categories and pages like my acc..still one footer translation for all of the languages…this one saved my life..would appreciate an update of the plugin…:)
Doesn’t work
by cheazeh·3 years ago
The language button does appear quite all right on Appearance->Customize. However, whatever language you customize in, the text gets copied to the other language. For example, once you customize in English, and then switch to French and customize, the English text immediately changes to the French and vice versa. Probably doesn’t work with the latest Polylang update.

This plugin provides useful customisation for a multilingual website, but there are some problems and it appears that it has been some time since this plugin had a bug fix update.

Thanks for the awesome plugin
Exactly what I needed

Allowed me to use Polylang to translate customizer strings for a theme (Bosa) that would otherwise not have been usable for this specific multi-language project.
Very simple to understand and use. Works flawlessly!
Thanks for sharing this plugin!
