Mobile menu multilanguage (Newspaper 7)

Hi!

Congratulations for such an awesome tool 😉 BUT!
We are struggling with the mobile menu… maybe we are trying to do something that we can’t!
So, we have our blog in two languages using the Polylang plugin. We manage to create all the posts and everything apart from the mobile menu when looking at it through the phone. So, in the desktop looks perfect but once we look on the phone there’s no way to have it in Spanish… its in English.
We tried to modify the menu display in the WordPress chapter of Appearance and we also tried to select “no menu” on the mobile theme of the Newspaper itself.

Is there a way to have the mobile main menu in two languages?

Thanks in advanced for your help

Hello,

Well since the plugin is not tested I;m not sure if it can translate the mobile menu or not. I cannot provide any specific solution for untested plugins. However you could try to disable the mobile theme plugin and use the theme’s standard responsive version. The mobile theme is more ‘picky’ with plugins. It works with a lot less than the main theme because of it’s custom nature.

Thank you!

Hello Bogdan,

Thanks for reply! we’ve been trying to solve the topic but still we don’t know how to do it.
We are almost done with our blog and honestly until now we are super satisfied with the newspaper… but now we are facing a crucial issue as our customers will be lost when navigating!

There’s really no way to have a proper language switcher in the mobile menu?

Another idea that we got is to cancel the mobile menu and to implement the language switcher in the footer but its not working neither!

Let’s say that we cancel de mobile menu and we try to manage with the footer… any ideas about how to implement the language switcher?

Thanks

Hello,

I understand your frustration on this issue, but unfortunately I do not have a solution to provide as we have not tested language switchers. Not all plugins work properly with premium theme and some do not work at all. Unfortunately untested plugin implementation falls beyond what the theme support can offer you. What you can try to do is find a different plugin that works properly and is able to translate the menu. I cannot suggest one though. Or alternatively you can hire a freelancer to create the missing implementation needed for the polylang plugin as there is a strong chance the customization required is not very hard or costly.

Thank you for your understanding.
