Permalinks and default pages

    Hello,

    I’ve switched to polylang (thanks for the great plugin!) from qTranslate because I prefer working with the translations the way polylang handles them. There are a few issues I’ve found though.

    1. Can’t have a plain homepage URL.
    When I go to my (static page) homepage at homepage.com and polylang is enabled, I get to homepage.com/home (home is the slug or the tagline, not sure which). I’d love to be able to have the URL for the main site as just homepage.com Permalinks are set to Post Name.

    This appears to be a bug; selecting “Hide URL language information for default language” fixes this. However the link in the Menu (Esplanade theme) still shows homepage.com/home

    2. When creating a translation, then going to it (via the langnauge selector in the widget), and then trashing the translation, problems occur.
    – The page can’t be edited (pen icon is still there in teh page list) because it claims to be in the trash, but clocking on it claims its in the trash. Going to the trash shows zero items (the Trash shows 2 items in the page list).

    3. When having only one page of an entire site translated, switching to that language makes the rest of the site disappear. A feature to default to a set language (or to always default to the lowest-order language that exists?) seems essential.

    Another suggestion: add an option that shows the permalink setting, static front page setting, theme name, and polylang settings on a page to be able to copy-paste into a report such as this… might help avoid a lot of questions and guessing.

    Thanks
    Nils

    1. I don’t reproduce even with the same theme. You should check your menu setting.
    2. That’s intentional that trashing a post does not break the link. However on my test site, trashed posts are correctly shown and the correct number of trashed posts is diplayed.
    3. I don’t understand what you mean.

    1. and 2. – something seemst to be weird on my end, I may reinstall and try on a clean site.

    3. I have a site with static pages page1, page2, and page3, all in english. Everything works normally. Now I translate just page1 to another language, and then go to that page. All of the other pages don’t show up anymore on the site / the menubar.

    Thanks for your help- I just converted another site to use your plugin and it works great when all pages are translated.
