    I would like to integrate the search into a multilingual website with Polylang. There is the following problem:
    When I submit the search form, it automatically switches to the main language of the website.

    Of course, I would like it to stay in the desired language during the search.
    Is that possible?

    Ensure there’s a language parameter in the search form set to the current language. If there’s no language parameter, the site may switch the language to the default language.

    OK, and how can I do that?

    We code the Site all manual…

    <form role="search" method="get" id="search-form" action="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" class="input-group my-2">
    <div class="input-group">
    	<div class="input-group-prepend">
    	<span class="input-group-text p-0">
    		<i class="fas fa-search text-muted"></i>
    	</span>
    </div>
    <div class="inline-block">
    	<div class="thesearch">
    <input type="search" size="3" class="form-control border-0" placeholder="Search..." aria-label="search nico" name="s" id="search-input" value="<?php echo esc_attr( get_search_query() ); ?>">
    		</div>
    	</div>
    	</div>
    </form>

    Add a hidden input field in the search form with the name lang and the value set to the current language. I’m sure Polylang has a function to print out the current language code.
