    I have used shortcode: [catlist id=156] it shows correct on english version but on french version of the page when I use this code it shows 3 latest posts completely ignoring my category ID.

    Polylang is the translation plugin.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    When you translate a category in Polylang it just creates a new category with a different ID, so on the French version of your page you have to use the id of the French version of the category.

    As you have already found out it doesn’t work with the same shortcode.

    Where Can I get that different ID please?

    You need to create French versions of the posts in category 156. You need to create a French version of category 156 and assign it to the French posts. This new category’s ID will be the one you need to use in your shortcode.

    But I don’t want to create french versions of post. Can’t I just have english versions shown anyway?

    It seems the Polylang plugin doesn’t allow this. A page in a given language can only query posts in the same language. You can contact their support team to figure out a solution.
