 * Hi we are on multisite using polylang we are noticing new categories are created
   when we broadcast its adding -en and -ar to the new categories even though the
   slugs on both sites are the same

 * Language suffixes on taxonomy terms is normal Polylang behavior.
 * I’m not quite sure what you expect from Polylang? Do you want the slugs of translated
   terms to all be the same? That’s not possible with Polylang.

 * Hi Edward I think you mistunderstood
 * Site A slugs
    - Energy (translated to طاقة)
 * Site B Slugs
    - Energy (translated to طاقة)
 * After broadcast new categories are being created
 * Site B slugs
    - Energy (translated to طاقة)
    - Energy-en (translated to طاقة-en)
 * Hope this clears things the broadcasted articles are not going into the existing
   categories its creating new ones. Existing categories are the same slugs on Site
   A and Site B in english and different for Arabic.

 * That’s interesting – broadcasting an arabic post should find the equivalent arabic
   term and use that, instead of trying to create an english term.
 * I need more information. Could you:
    - if enabled, disable the Broadcast queue add-on
    - enable [Broadcast debug mode](https://broadcast.plainviewplugins.com/doc/debug-mode/):
      Admin > Broadcast > Settings tab > Debugging subtab
    - Enable debug + debug to browser and / or file
    - broadcast the post to **one** blog
    - send me the debug text to read through: [edward@plainviewplugins.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-multisite-categories-issue/edward@plainviewplugins.com?output_format=md)
 * This will tell me what Broadcast is doing.
