Changing language for multiple posts at once

Hi!

Yes you can use bulk edit to set the language of your posts. You can’t do all 400 posts at once. But, when displaying the list of posts, you can increase the number of items per page to let say 40 or 50 (don’t go too high no to run into memory issues) in screen options and then use the bulk to set the language for all visible posts at once.

Thank you so much, works like a charm. I probably tried too many at once yesterday. Actually, I first set all 400 posts for default language at once from the plugin settings, and now I only need to use bulk edit for half of them! ?? This is just for info, in case someone else is struggling with the same issue.

This saves so much time, thanks once more! ??

that is amazing! thank you. almost lost my mind before i found this ??

Hi,
When I bulk edit seleted posts there is no language field to change. (Polylang Plugin).
What should I do to make the language attribute show among bulk edit / quick edit options?

Try this
https://polylang.pro/doc/assign-a-language-to-an-existing-content/

No, it is not working like in the above description/link of @webpopular.
Naither in quick edit nor in bulk edit there is no language arrtibute available to change. Language box is not shown neither in quick edit nor in bulk edit. It shows only in page edit.

Is it the only Polylang-pro option?

As seen from messages above, I got it done a year ago as per @choubys instructions! ??

No, I m sorry, I am talking about different problem
Chouby is explaining how to select more than 20 posts for bulk edit.

My problem is that when I bulk edit 2, 3 or many posts (and I do know how to do it) the field to change language is not shown. How to configure language field to be editable in bult edit?

Here is the screen:
