 * Short answer: no.
 * Longer anwser: I don’t know. I did not test bbPress. Some things may work and
   some other not. If you make a test, then I am interested to know more.

 * Hi Chouby, I am in this particular situation that I’m running Polylang alongside
   with bbPress.
 * It works fine except for one situation:
 * When viewing a topic in bbPress (which is a thread / forum post) Polylang completely
   stops working.
    - The language-based filter for sidebar widgets doesn’t work and all widgets
      for all languages appear simultaneously
    - The navigation menu is not filtered anymore and all page entries for all languages
      appear simultaneously
 * Other than that the correct functionality of bbPress doesn’t seem to be affected.

 * Update: your latest version of Polylang fixes my previously mentioned issues 
   with bbPress.
 * However, I noticed one big problem with Polylang. It does not add the language
   meta data to new topics and replies created with bbPress (which are in fact all
   posts). Therefore all new topics and replies are not displayed because they get
   filtered by Polylang.
 * Apparently your plugin only hooks into save_post in the admin area.
 * It would be great if you could extend your plugin so it also works with posts
   created with the front end.

 * To be honest, it is pure luck that v0.9 improves the situation as I currently
   still not work on bbPress support.
 * In my plans, v0.9 was released to give full multilingual support to WordPress
   core. v1.0 will be release to improve ui and user experience. Then only (not 
   before 2013), I will start working on better support of major WordPress plugins
   and themes. And bbPress is not the only one in may plans 😉

 * xili-language 2.8.1 is announced to support multilingual support for bbPress 
   2.1 – see

 * be patient during end of testing phase…
