 * Hello!
 * I would like to change my theme to Kale, because I like the theme (I’m using 
   it on my other page: [http://www.freeyourkitchen.com](http://www.freeyourkitchen.com))
 * On this site I’m using polylang and I want to keep using it since it’s easy and
   free. But when I change my theme into Kale it looks like Polylang is not compatible.
 * My question: Is it possible to use Polylang in the free version of the Kale theme?
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fkale-and-polylang%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi there,
 * Thank you for getting in touch with us.
 * Polylang works with Kale, however we found that there is an issue with “Featured
   Posts” section which can be setup only in Customizer. Apparently the strings 
   from Customizer don’t show up in translation strings in Polylang.
 * There is some workaround which requires some changes in theme file and it only
   works when homepage is set as static page. That means your blog feed (recent 
   posts) section will be displayed on posts page, not on front page because static
   front page don’t have this section build in. I’m not sure if this is what you
   want.
 * Kind regards

 * Dear Jarektheme,
 * Thanks for the fast answer! I already wanted to have a static front page, so 
   that’s no problem!
 * Thanks!

 * To create mulitlingual Customizer you need to use customizer-polylang script 
   created by Soderlind: [https://github.com/soderlind/customizer-polylang](https://github.com/soderlind/customizer-polylang)
 * First you need to open _functions.php_ file inside _wp-content/themes/kale_ folder
   and add this code at the end:
 * `require_once get_stylesheet_directory() . '/customizer-polylang.php'; ?>`
 * Then please download the zip file here: [https://app.box.com/s/3s1s3hiltpkvmp8dpn23y98sl6ss3mx5](https://app.box.com/s/3s1s3hiltpkvmp8dpn23y98sl6ss3mx5)
   
   and unzip it. Finally you need to upload _customizer-polylang.php_ file and _js_
   folder from unzipped file to _wp-content/themes/kale_ directory. This should 
   add new dropdown menu with English and second language option in _Appearance 
   → Customize_ section. You can select specific language and change posts in Featured
   Posts section. This way you can see different posts on English side and the other
   one on other language side.
 * Kind regards
