Force language on custom post taxonomy archive

  • Hey

    Is there any way to force Polylang to display website in certain language? My problem is: I have a custom taxonomy page, but somehow languages won’t work on the taxonomy page. My settings are adjusted so that all foreign pages are loaded as example.com/ru/contact/ and language is set from the directory name.

    Nevertheless, whenever I try to access my taxonomy page (example.com/ru/taxonomy/), the site is redirected to english version to example.com/taxonomy/. To be honest, I just needed couple of lines to be multilingual so I used pll_e() function in the taxonomy template. Does this change anything?

    Any advice regarding this problem?

    Hi!

    I am not aware that WordPress allows such page as example.com/taxonomy/ to be queried. If you replace taxonomy by category, you can’t query example.com/category/. You must query example.com/category/my-category-term instead.

    With Polylang, my-category-term is associated to a language (for example English) and it is intentional that Polylang redirects example.com/ru/category/my-category-term to example.com/en/category/my-category-term and displays it in English.

    It seems I meant slightly different thing the first time. Now I’m actually wondering.. if I’m able to translate custom post type archive page (example.com/ru/taxonomy), then why can’t I do the same for single custom post page (example.com/ru/single-custom-post, which is a parent custom post type of previously mentioned taxonomy)? Technically, when looking at WordPress template hierarchy, it should work.

    Is there any way around that intentional behavior?

    Sorry you are confusing me.

    As mentionned earlier, you can’t hav such url
    example.com/ru/taxonomy/
    Nor you can have
    example.com/ru/single-custom-post

    You can have, for a custom post type archive
    example.com/ru/custom-post-type-slug
    and, for a custom post
    example.com/ru/custom-post-type-slug/single-custom-post

    For custom post type archives, the language code will be used by Polylang to determine if you want the list of custom posts in English or in Russian.

    For single custom posts, Polylang will check if the url is meaningful or not. If your single-custom-post is in Russian, that’s fine. If it is in English, then the url is wrong and thus you are redirected to
    example.com/custom-post-type-slug/single-custom-post
