Hi @olgasom!
Please, read the “functions reference”
https://polylang.pro/doc/function-reference/#pll__
about functions such as “pll__” and “pll_e”.
They have only one argument.

@einicher, Hello and thank you very much for your report!
Problem solved. Please upgrade the plugin to the latest version 3.3.1 ??

Maybe you are doing something wrong.
Try to upgrade the plugin to latest version (3.3).
Thanks!

Yes, that is right. We can not know in advance which variables are used as strings-translations. This is logical.

Hello!
Thanks for your comment.
Please, upgrade to latest version Polylang Theme Strings (v.3.3).
This issue has been solved.

Hi, @dtailspress!
About your post. Manually you will not do it. Groups created only programmatically by plugins or other codes.

@yourtherapy, first see description about how “Polylang” plugin works. After see description how “Polylang Theme Strings” work. And I think you will understand everything.

@twojpluszak, see description about how this plugin works, please.
“pll__” and “pll_e” – this is php-functions, it is not just a string-line.

@nize66, see description about how this plugin works, please.

You have installed and activated the plugin “Polylang”?

“Polylang Theme Strings” this is extension of plugin “Polylang”.
For working with strings as translations they should wrap in functions (pll__() or pll_e()), example <?php echo pll__(‘Test string’); ?> then this string is displayed in the panel strings-translation in admin area.
Please, read more here https://polylang.pro/doc/developpers-how-to/

and you have wrapped lines by functions pll__() or pll_e() in your installed theme?
please, read description about how this plugin works.

Good luck! ??

Please, write more information about this situation. Maybe you show screenshots or video of your problem.
While i think that you are entering invalid characters or a problem specifically in the plugin “Polylang”, but not in the “Polylang Theme Strings”.

“pll__()” function returned value. “pll_e()” printed value.
You must printed value if used function “pll__()”, example:
<?php echo pll__( ‘Menu’, ‘menu_name’ ); ?>
or use
<?php pll_e( ‘Menu’, ‘menu_name’ ); ?>
