 * Hey everyone,
 * I have a website with a system of English blogposts, some of which are translated.
   I would like the frontpage (the “Your latest posts”) to display the translated
   posts when available, and otherwise show the non-translated posts.
 * I know that this is not part of the polylang functionality, and just adding the
   English content to all languages where translations are unavailable is NOT a 
   good option for me.
 * I was wondering if there’s something I could change in the php code to achieve
   this. My gut tells me that I would just have to add a few lines somewhere, that
   say “IF no translation available, show default language”, BUT I am not a programmer,
   unfortunately.
 * Does anyone have an idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂
 * Cheers
    Luc
