Polylang and Simplify theme

The easiest way is to create a wpml-config.xml file:

<wpml-config>
    <admin-texts>
        <key name="simplify">
            <key name="heading-text" />
            <key name="heading-des" />
        </key>
    </admin-texts>
</wpml-config>

You can add other options by looking at the file simplify/inc/options.php. Once it is done, upload the file to your theme directory. You can also send it to the author. If he includes the file in the distribution, the theme will be compatible with WPML and Polylang.

Starting from Polylang 1.0.3, it will be possible to put the file in the directory wp-content/polylang (which you will have to create) so that your file is not overwritten when you update your theme.

Thanks for your reply.

I do not know how I can use your wpml-config.xml file.

I have copied it on Notepad and uploaded it in the wpcontent/polylang directory. And now?

Could you explain step by step?

Please, visit my site:

I have not a home page to edit but only a Front page template.

Now you fill the theme options as usual and then go to settings->languages->strings translations to make the tranlation.

Since I wrote the post above, I found a bug in Polylang 1.0.3 which may prevent this to work correctly, so you should update to the current development version.

Done. Updated. Made the translation.
But it does not work.
The Home page in french is always missing as stated by the error message:”SORRY, WE COULDN’T FIND ANYTHING THAT MATCHED YOUR SEARCH.
YOU CAN TRY ANOTHER SEARCH…”

It seems that you are using a static front page. Did you translate in French?

I’m using a mix: I’ve changed a part of the dinamic front page with the static contents.
I have noted that when I use the front page template the theme show always the same page (Home). In the list of “All pages” the Home is blank and I can not translate it.

If it is blank, it means that it has no language. Probably because you created it before activating Polylang (and you did not click the red option in Polylang settings). You should give it a language and translate it.

I have almost same issue, while working my website
