Title: 404 page language switch Last modified: April 15, 2019 --- # 404 page language switch * Resolved [hugohb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hugohb/) * (@hugohb) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-page-language-switch/) * Hi, * Thanks for this great plugin that works like a charm for the footer! * However, I cannot make it work for my 404 page. I’ve set up a custom one in EN and RU, and connected both of them together with Polylang. * But whenever I am typing an “unknown” URL while I’m on the RU version of my site, I always see the EN version of it… * Do you have any idea where it comes from? * Best, Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Contributor [Brad Johnson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p4fbradjohnson/) * (@p4fbradjohnson) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-page-language-switch/#post-11428574) * Hi [@hugohb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hugohb/) * I am glad that is working for the most part. I need a URL to double check the issues. * Thread Starter [hugohb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hugohb/) * (@hugohb) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-page-language-switch/#post-11428649) * Oh, sure! The website is lobsession.ru * Many parts of the website are not translated yet, and the ones published are mostly for the sake of testing on multiple devices. But homepage in both languages is public, as well as the 404 page. * Anyway, when you switch from EN to RU, you can make sure you are indeed in Russian language by checking the menu in header (with mention “RU” everywhere”) and/or the footer, which is fully translated. * Thanks for the help! * Plugin Contributor [Brad Johnson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p4fbradjohnson/) * (@p4fbradjohnson) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-page-language-switch/#post-11435544) * Sorry for the delay (I have been without a connection), yes, I see it is a problem. I just want to test on my site and I will get back to you. * Plugin Contributor [Brad Johnson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p4fbradjohnson/) * (@p4fbradjohnson) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-page-language-switch/#post-11458825) * Just to let you know I have not forgotten about this. * Thread Starter [hugohb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hugohb/) * (@hugohb) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-page-language-switch/#post-11459130) * Hi p4fbradjohnson, thanks a lot for the update and the hard work! I hope you’ll find the issue! * Let me know if you need anything else from my side. * Plugin Contributor [Brad Johnson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p4fbradjohnson/) * (@p4fbradjohnson) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-page-language-switch/#post-11467565) * Hello [@hugohb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hugohb/) * Okay, so I have found some time. I actually had not set up my 404’s, so this pushed me to do it! (Thanks for that! 😉 ) * Questions: * Have you set a display condition on the original template? * When you created the default 404 template, did you click the + sign to create the new language 404 template? - This reply was modified 7 years ago by [Brad Johnson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p4fbradjohnson/). - This reply was modified 7 years ago by [Brad Johnson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p4fbradjohnson/). * Thread Starter [hugohb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hugohb/) * (@hugohb) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-page-language-switch/#post-11472459) * Hi, * Glad I could be of any help with your own projects! 🙂 * The only condition I have set for both languages is “Include: 404 page”. * I cannot remember how I created the 404 page of the second language. But I’ve double checked and both pages are linked and point to each other in the “Languages” section, in Edit mode. * Plugin Contributor [Brad Johnson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/p4fbradjohnson/) * (@p4fbradjohnson) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-page-language-switch/#post-11475019) * [@hugohb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hugohb/) * Would it be possible to grant me temporary admin access?

The language is set from the directory name in pretty permalinks. This is a condition to the plugin and our documentation will be updated accordingly.
