 * Plugin doesn’t searchs the strings.
 * I install the plugins «Polylang» version 1.9.3 and «Polylang Theme Strings» on
   my multilanguage WordPress CMS project and they are both active. When I’m in 
   the settings of plugin (Polylang) in the tab «Strings translation» the «Polylang
   Theme Strings» and nothing happens. Plugin doesn’t scans the strings automatically.
 * I see the message:
 * «Polylang Theme Strings» works.
    Current theme polylang-strings detected: 0 All
   themes polylang-strings detected: 0

 * Sorry? I’don’t understand what do you mean about the functions.
    These is my 
   [site](http://test.websitedesign.ge/) Theme is [Justlanded](https://themeforest.net/item/justlanded-wordpress-landing-page/3804089)
 * So, what exactly I can to do? How can I wrapp lines by functions pll__() or pll_e()
   in Justlanded theme?!

 * “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/](https://polylang.pro/doc/developpers-how-to/)

 * Do you mean, that I must find all strings myself and set pll functions manually?!
 * Are you kidding me? )))
    These strings are more than 300!
 * What is the reason to make such extension?
    No one can find 300-400 strings manually,
   right?
 * In this case it will be much more easy to use WPML with ability to find all strings
   automatically.
