 * Hi, I’m having a problem with the language switcher I added to the header menu.
   When I’m on one of the pages translated into English or German and change the
   language using the switcher, it always takes me back to the same page I was on,
   without showing me the page translated into the selected language. I’ve checked
   several times to make sure all the pages are translated and linked together. 
   I’ve used Polylang on other projects in the past, but I’ve never had this problem.
   How can I fix it? I’m using the Elessi theme for the site.
