# Menu language changes

 * I’ve defined a dutch and a english menu set and pages. On the english all works
   well. If I switch to dutch the menu on the home page works well. As soon as I
   click on a menu item (Pages) the correct pages shows, but the menu changes to
   english. This happens on all the pages.
 * I have checked all the settings and menu options, cannot find anything but that
   in the quick pages list view the language selector sets on english, also for 
   the dutch pages. If I edit the page the language is set correct on that page.
   If I change the language selector on the quick edit page and press save, it reverts
   back to english. Perhaps there is a problem? I use the Fable theme of elegant
   themes. My development site is [http://www.snepmi.nl/new](http://www.snepmi.nl/new)

 * That’s not only the menu which is in English but everything because your “Dutch”
   pages are in fact set to English.

 * Yes sure. There is a problem. Can you switch the language to Dutch when you are
   in the edit page panel (not using the quick edit)?
 * Is your install a fresh install?

 * Yes, there I can set them to Dutch (Nederlands) and it remains in that language.
   When I take a look at the quick edit details after saving that it still states
   that the language is in English.
 * It is not a completely fresh install, as I used the Nexus theme before, and now
   switched to the Fable theme as you told me the Nexus theme is not compatible.
   The Fable theme does seem to be compatible (at least for the home page and all
   the english pages)

 * If needed I can do a fresh install, but am really wondering why I cannot change
   the language on the quick edit. perhaps a rights problem?

 * What I am aware is that:
    When you switch the language in quick edit and save
   and come back in quick edit just after (without refreshing the page), the language
   dropdown menu is not refreshed. However the language was correctly saved.
 * If in your case, the language is not saved, then that’s a different issue which
   may come from a conflict.

 * Thank you. After a refresh it does save. But then the problem arises that previous
   settings are undone again on the pages I just changed. So it seems impossible
   to set all the pages to the right language. Even if I do them one by one, refreshing
   the page, set a new one, refresh, the old ones are set to english again. Very
   strange.

 * After a lot fiddling I’ve managed to get it running right, but it seems to be
   a bit buggy…
    Just to let you know…

 * Hi,
 * I’ve installed the plugin and im facing the same problem. I can run the entire
   website on English but when I turn to Portuguese it changes to English every 
   time I click on something.

 * I don’t see any issue.
    went to [http://sergiomoreira.com/pt/](http://sergiomoreira.com/pt/)
   then [http://sergiomoreira.com/blogue/](http://sergiomoreira.com/blogue/) then
   [http://sergiomoreira.com/valores/](http://sergiomoreira.com/valores/) Everything
   is in Portuguese Just noticed that some strings (maybe all?) of your theme are
   not translated.

 * That does not happen with me. I went to main page and then I turn to Portuguese
   language and the main menu turns to portuguese. I click on blog (blogue) and 
   the main menu turns to English and the blog posts also turns to English. I need
   to click again on the portuguese flag to turn to portuguese again.

 * I see. How did you add menu items in your menu menu-pt? It looks like you added
   English pages and just translated the navigation label (so the link stays to 
   teh English page).
