Front-page panels do not switch to 2nd language

Hi there,

I don’t know how the Polylang plugin works and I wasn’t able to fully test it out as it is quite complex. Can you share a link to your site so I can have a look and help you troubleshoot this?

Hello!

Thanks so much for you reply ??
Here is the link: https://theislandandyou.com The main language is Spanish, the second one Italian. The problem is with the theme options in the wp-admin/customize. I can add some panels to the front-page, but it let me choose just one language, not both.
So if I set the panels in Spanish, it will work perfectly for the Spanish site while the Italian one will show panels in Spanish and the rest of content in Italian.

I’ve no idea if I’m doing something wrong, if I need to upgrade Polylang or call an exorcist ??

Any suggestion will be more than welcome! Thank you very much for helping me!
Cheers

The site at https://theislandandyou.com/ is not live yet so we can’t view it. I’d suggest talking to Polylang if making the site live isn’t possible at the moment.

I put it online, you should be able to see it now. Thanks so much!

I had a look and couldn’t find out why this is happening. I suggest reaching out to Polylang for more help or use another translation plugin.

Thank you, Fotis!
So you’re telling me that it depends from Polylang, isn’t it? It is not a theme issue or something wrong in the way I organised my webpage?

In order to have support from Polylang I need an upgrade version, not a free one. Is that correct?

Thanks again for your help!

It might be a combination of the two, but altering a theme to make it compatible with a specific plugin is a task better handled by a professional web designer.

You can post in Polylang’s official support forum:

I’ve managed to fix it. Thank you!

Hi @theisland,
I am having the same issue as you are describing.

I am very curious how you solved it. Can you please help? ??

Thanks!

Hi, @theisland and @enikbra
Same trouble here with the front page panels ! They are not translated (even though translated panels (=pages backend) exist and are linked), I’d like to know how you solved this ?

Thank you !

Hi,
I gave up ??
I switched to Twenty Nineteen theme instead. It offers a similar front page with panels (that do translate correctly). With some add-ons it is very customizable. The Affinity theme does not seem to be updated/supported anymore.

Good luck!
Niklas

Ok @enikbra, I’ll wait a little to see if someone has an solution before changing theme !
Thank you for your reply !

Has anyone found a solution to this?

I am using this theme which uses panels on the front page as well. https://www.ads-software.com/themes/pique/

My translations work for my “home” static page at the very top of my front page but do not work for the all the panels below that on my front page.

Appreciate if anyone can help. Thank you.

@whatisthis6,

It’s generally better to not post into old threads created by other people.

But this also isn’t a problem with the theme. This appears to be a problem with whatever translation plugin you’re using, so please contact support for that plugin directly for help with this.

@kokkieh

The only translation plugin I am using is Polylang. Have you tried using Polylang with a theme with panels on the front page?

Thank you
