 * I have just tried polylang and found it very useful. However, there is one serious
   problem I encountered: in the editor the little window to the right which contains
   the category selection is empty. I checked in the source code, and it seems that
   function start_el in the class Walker_Category_Checklist is never called after
   the plugin has been activated (file /wp-admin/includes/template.php).
 * Furthermore, I can’t set translations for categories on the page
    /wp-admin/edit-
   tags.php?taxonomy=category
 * Maybe there is some connection between the two problems.

 * I have found a pattern: it only happens with the non-standard language.
 * The feature which is supposed to allow me to add translations for the category
   names does not work.
 * So, I suppose, there are now categories shown because there is no translation
   to the respective language. So, the key is probably to fix the translation feature
   for categories. I have checked it with 0.7.2 today. It didn’t work.
