 * Hello,
 * My site have 2 languages: french (default) and english. Administration lang is
   in french.
 * – When i edit the english version of a post, the administration lang don’t change
   to english.
    – When i’m on an english post and change admin lang to french, i’m
   not redirect to the french version of the post.
 * Is there a way to do this with polylang ? (WPML work like this)

 * Hi!
 * Polylang is not a clone of WPML 😉
 * What you call an admin language switcher is in fact an admin language *filter*.
   The goal is to filter the content per language in list tables.
 * Editing a translation is done by clicking on the pen icon in the languages metabox.

 * Thanks for your answer 🙂
 * I already know that i ask is not a native functionnality, i just consider that’s
   an usefull feature from WPML.
 * My original problem who make me post this subject concernes the plugin Advanced
   Custom Field and the relationship fields who don’t work well with Polylang. ACF
   search post in lang of the language filter even if the post is in another lang.
 * Don’t know if the problem come from Polylang or ACF.

 * It’s probably due to the fact that ACF relies on the WPML compatibility mode 
   of Polylang. I know that there is a plugin to make Polylang and ACF work together.
   Did you try it?

 * Thanks,
 * But this plugin don’t resolve my problem. I don’t want to filter the display 
   of field group.
 * Acf relationship field is bugged when you have the admin lang switcher in different
   lang of the post you edit.
 * 🙁
 * And i use the acf pro version … 🙂
