 * Hi,
 * I began to try your plugin and it’s really cool.
    I was just wondering if there
   are some automatic tasks:
 * 1) Is it possible to copy an entire post/page into the other languages, without
   translation? It means if I create a post in English, its categories, its tags
   and its content are automatically copied into a French page, but in English, 
   so the post is automatically available in all languages, even if it’s not translated
   yet.
 * 2) The language switcher cannot be in a multi selector with an arrow?
 * Thanks a lot =)

 * Hi
 * 1) Polylang always copies all metadatas from the source post when creating a 
   new translation, except the content (text, gallery).
    However you can copies 
   the content with Duplicate Post plugin. With this plugin you can clone your English
   post, then change the language in French.
 * 2) Like [this](http://www.ixtendo.com/demo/polyglot-language-switcher-jquery-plugin-2.2/index.html#)?

 * Hi thanks for your answer =)
 * 2) definitely like this =) can you help me on that?
 * 1) I created new pages but Polylang only created a field (+) where I can create
   a new translation for other language. It didn’t copy the category, neither the
   tags, neither the title or content of the original english page
 * Thanks =D

 * 1) You must translate your category, tag. Polylang doesn’t copy the title or 
   the content, to do that you can use the [Duplicate post](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-post/)
   plugin.
 * 2) The user Dados explains [there](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flags-in-drop-down?replies=4#post-7920374)
   how to do that.
