Hello,
Yes there is. We are working on a way to make it more intuitive, but in the mean time, you can use a taxonomy field to let the user choose which language the post should be.
You can also use a duplicate post form to let the user duplicate the post in another language using a taxonomy field.
Than you! It is a solution.
But the new post (in another language) is not connected to the original post? 🙁
Navigating and clicking on the polylang switch language icon may not switch to the correct post in the other language, right?
anyway i love acf frontend
Correct the posts are t connected. I am writing this down for implementation very soon. I’ll keep you posted.
I’m glad you love our plugin. 😊
Hola Roberto,
To create the translations button is not very difficult:
There are 2 functions that you need to check against the $postID: pll_get_post_language and pll_get_post_translations
With those functions, you can check which language version is available.
To create a Polylang translate button which links to the original, you have to create a Polylang nonce. This nonce is specific to Polylang and won’t work without it.
$nonce_url = wp_nonce_url( $url, 'new-post-translation' );
$url = '/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=YOURCPT&from_post='.$postID.'&new_lang='.$language_to_translate_to;
Hope this helps.

Hi guys,
Thank you for the great plugin and previous discussions.
@shabti Is there any progress with adding option to connect translated posts to original?
@xamax Did you perhaps find a way to start creating a connected translation using a front-end form and not a wp-admin URL?
Best regards,
Verner
