Polylang - Customizer & Theme Options

You can translate strings in Polylang under WP Dash / Languages / String Translations, however, Polylang by default does not provide access to the Customizer settings or the theme options, so if you wanted to have a different footer widget setting per language, you'll need a script to help with that. We recommend adding the following script to your child theme.

Download and place the files inside your child theme folder https://github.com/themovation/customizer-polylang

It should look like this: https://s3.amazonaws.com/helpscout.net/docs/assets/592635122c7d3a074e8ace06/images/6a67d4d5cc79bc6716970d43/article-196-5f5145a10084.png

Then add this line of code to your child-theme/functions.php file: (this could be embark-child/functions.php or stratus-child/functions.php or bellevue-child/functions.php)

include( STYLESHEETPATH . '/customizer-polylang.php');

It should look like this: https://s3.amazonaws.com/helpscout.net/docs/assets/592635122c7d3a074e8ace06/images/6a67d4d6d7632e3d35ec91a3/article-196-64967ffcbb68.png

That should be it. :)

At the top of your cusotmizer window, you should see a language dropdown.
