 * Hi
 * I added polylang and checked :
    - Custom post types: Directory
    - Custom taxonomies : Directory Categories+Directory Tags
 * I added all the categories in two languages and the directories in two languages.
 * The categories with their counter for each category is shown correctly for both
   languages with the correct language.
    However, when I click a category name –
   the English language directory is shown always for both languages.
 * Please kindly advise
 * Guy

 * Hi Guy,
 * Our directory can be translated into any language using the standard WordPress
   internationalization/localization mechanisms.
 * We’re currently working on adding WPML support to allow more dynamic languages
   here. The stumbling block right now appears to be them–we’ve submitted our app
   for testing, but they are slow to review it. If you want support for our plugin,
   go to WPML.org and tell them to hustle up with their review. 🙂
 * As for Polylang, we haven’t investigated that at all and I’m not certain that
   it will work with us since we’ve not certified it to do so.

 * Hi!
    Thanks for the super-fast reply !!! I really appreciate it.
 * The “standard” translation works fine with po-edit- that is not a problem.
 * I am using POLYLANG because it is free … please make an effort to work with them
   since many other users try the free option first and will bless you if you work
   with this great plugin.
 * As I said – it is already working “visually” the bug/problem is only minor – 
   to get the link to show the correct directory entry.
 * why do you say “we’ve not certified to do so” ? what is needed to do so ?

 * Hi Guy,
 * Generally, things like this require us to do some testing to say “yep, this works
   with us!” We’ve done that with really popular plugins like Jetpack, W3TC, and
   WP-PageNavi when customers report issues.
 * This is the first I’ve actually heard of Polylang. The more popular choice, based
   on customer feedback seems to be WPML.
 * We’ll look into it, but I don’t have a specific timeframe when it will be available
   right now.

 * Thanks again!
 * I will look at the code too and let you know if I have a code change for that
   issue – and all will benefit from it…
    ========= Since we are talking already–
   please consider another thing: Put some strings out of the po file so we will
   have our own label.
 * Examples:
    -  We are using your plugin to show Associations and not
       Businesses , so I 
      edited the po – but if it could be out of there it could be nice.
    -  I as a wp developer can use your BD plugin to show a portfolio for my WP 
      sites.
 * Just a thought 🙂

 * Hi again.
    I need some guidance from your side. I am looking on the directory
   listing on the site admin: [http://index.myinspire.co.il/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpbdp_listing](http://index.myinspire.co.il/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpbdp_listing)
 * I have two directories , one for Hebrew and the other for English
    When I hover
   on the “view” link of one of the listing I see:
 * [http://index.myinspire.co.il/associations-directory/136/ilan-israeli-foundation-handicapped-children/](http://index.myinspire.co.il/associations-directory/136/ilan-israeli-foundation-handicapped-children/)
 * The other one is in hebrew:
    [http://index.myinspire.co.il/associations-directory/81/%d7%90%d7%99%d7%9c%d7%9f-%d7%90%d7%99%d7%92%d7%95%d7%93-%d7%99%d7%a9%d7%a8%d7%90%d7%9c%d7%99-%d7%9c%d7%99%d7%9c%d7%93%d7%99%d7%9d-%d7%a0%d7%a4%d7%92%d7%a2%d7%99%d7%9d/](http://index.myinspire.co.il/associations-directory/81/%d7%90%d7%99%d7%9c%d7%9f-%d7%90%d7%99%d7%92%d7%95%d7%93-%d7%99%d7%a9%d7%a8%d7%90%d7%9c%d7%99-%d7%9c%d7%99%d7%9c%d7%93%d7%99%d7%9d-%d7%a0%d7%a4%d7%92%d7%a2%d7%99%d7%9d/)
 * However when I click view – it does not show the Hebrew(id=81) entry but the 
   English one (id=136)
 * When in the code is the “view” button please ?

 * Hi Guy,
 * We have a full customization guide that outlines what files are used for which
   purpose here: [http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/docs/customization-guide/](http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/docs/customization-guide/)
 * I believe that should guide you a bit better. But as I said before, since we 
   don’t technically support Polylang, if they are doing something with URLs to 
   set language attributes, we wouldn’t understand that.
