    i set up a wordpress block theme site. as my homepage is a static site in german, i definded the pages for the english and french versions of the homepage. i know the procedure –?in the right column of the page editor i can select the page for the english and french translation of the homepage and then save the page. but polylang/wordpress does not seem to save the connection between the language versions of the homepage – each language version exists, but i cannot save the connection between them.
    on the front end when i am on the german homepage and hit the english button, i get the content of a completely different english page; strangely with the layout of the german website template and the url is https://www.mywebsitetitle.de/en/. the same happens in french (content of a different french page and the layout of the german website template).
    all other connections between german page and its english and french tranlated pages/posts are working ok – the problem only exists with the homepage and its two translation pages.

    thanks in advance for helping!

    so now i have looked once again into the polylang settings/URL modifications and checked ?the front page URL contains the language code instead of the page name“. then i reloaded the german homepage and chose the english flag in the language switcher and a blank page came up (url: https://www.mywebsitetitle.de/en/startseite-english/ . i then took a look into the german homepage and recognized that in the right column the english and french page translations were defined. obviously, by editing the polylang settings, polylang got active and created the default homepage translation pages. i just had to enter the page content and now the homepages are accessible for all three languages ??
