 * Hi, thanks for developing this great plugin, this must have been a BIG work!
   
   Some requests:
 * 1) Multilangual media titles and captions!
 * 2) In the Pages table, the default is ‘Show all languages’. I would rather like
   this to ‘Show the default language’. I spent hours to hack your code but still
   not working. 🙁
    The best would be a preference setting.
 * 3) When showing all languages, you may get something like this:
 *     ```
       0  Title             Author     English       French
       1  ---------------------------------------------------
       2  Contact           Admin      (pencil)      (pencil)  <-- English
       3  Contact           Admin      (pencil)      (pencil)  <-- French
       4  Welcome           Admin      (pencil)      (pencil)  <-- English
       5  Bienvenue         Admin      (pencil)      (pencil)  <-- French
       6  English text      Admin      (pencil)                <-- English
       7  French text       Admin                    (pencil)  <-- French
       ```
   
 * Why not leave out lines 3 and 5 when they are in the French column already? Since
   6 and 7 are not translated, they should stay in. So you get:
 *     ```
       0  Title             Author     English       French
       1  ---------------------------------------------------
       2  Contact           Admin      (pencil)      (pencil)
       3  Welcome           Admin      (pencil)      (pencil)
       4  English text      Admin      (pencil)
       5  French text       Admin                    (pencil)
       ```
   
 * Also, in the same panel, it would be handy if you could somehow see the language
   of the post/page (flag?).

 * 1. Could you give me more details ? (I am not using media).
    2. I did like this
   because I prefer like this for my own usage. The main problem now is that the
   choice you make is not persistant. I will try to improve this in the future. 
   3. Could be tricky to do.

 * In the first versions of Polylang, the plugin displayed the language name rather
   than the plus and the pencil. Then I thought the current solution was better.
   Making a good ui is always tricky !

 * 1. You can embed images/videos/sounds in a page/post. For now, you can only set
   1 title, caption, description per image. You need to dive in this yourself. The
   interface is a bit complex though. [More info](http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Screens#Media_-_Add_pictures_and_movies_to_your_posts).
   
   2. Looking out for improvement… 3. I like the pencils idea! But it’s not obvious
   in which language the actual post is. You don’t want the language in the title,
   like ‘Contact (E)’… So you have to open it first. The more languages, the more
   complicated it gets. Maybe a black pencil in the appropiate column? Thanks again!

 * I understand now for media. I will add this to my roadmap. But it will not be
   released tomorrow 😉

 * I replaced the pencil by a tick for the language of the post (kept the pencil
   for translations only).
 * You can look at [the development version of 0.8](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/development-of-polylang-version-08)
   to see how it renders.
 * I keep your other ideas but I will not develop new features in the coming months.
   I need to slow down the development (I will not be able to go on full time 😉)
   and will focus on bug corrections and new versions of WP only.

 * Hey, I just downloaded the dev version! Nice to see you’re working on this already,
   I didn’t expect this so soon.
 * Indeed, this makes the actual version stand out. But instead of 2, we now have
   3 icons to discern which makes the brain need to work harder… Why not use a lighter(
   grey) tick for the translation, and the green tick for the actual version? Apart
   from simpleness (no hover needed), it would make the interface more lively 😉
 * (on the other hand, I’m not sure if a tick is better though, a pencil may be 
   more informative because it stands for ‘editable’)
 * Besides, I tried to explain the interface to my ‘customer’, but the double rows
   made him frown (like me). They are not necessary anymore, I think. I understand
   it’s not as important as the bugs.
 * Hope this helps. Just my opinion…

 * I did this because it was very easy to do (added two lines of code and two lines
   of css) and there was no risk to break something.
 * For your other ideas, you will have to wait much longer… I really need to focus
   on bugs (I did add too much features too quickly).

 * Media translation support and persistant language filter for the admi will be
   included in v0.9. To know more: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/development-of-polylang-v09](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/development-of-polylang-v09)
