 * hello
    i recently added the polylang plugin on a website, and did all the requirements
   to create different languages. I putted the language switcher on the menu, and
   checked also the options to show languages according to the browser preferences.
   And the issue is that when we go to the website from a normal web search it always
   show the english version of the site, despite the main language is french.If 
   we are on the english version and if we delete the /en from the url, it stay 
   on the english version. the french version is the normal url without language
   extension (no /fr but only .com) Can you please help me on this, as all settings
   seem correct. Is there something to do with the htaccess file or something?
 * thank you if you can help me as it’as quite urgent..
