 * Hi
 * I tried to translate the left menu for a bilingual website; I read about using
   the polylang addon for customizer-plugin. But this plugin causes a white screen
   and is no solution.
 * Is there any other way around?

 * Hi [@vanbrel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vanbrel/),
 * In this case, please get in touch with your third-party plugin author.
    Maybe
   they have a solution that we are not aware of.
 * However, I think you can translate all menus under the WP Dashboard > Appearance
   > Menus.

 * Hi
 * I guess this is a misunderstanding. I don’t have the problem to have many menus
   in many languages. The problem is in the customizer – there I only can set ONE
   Menu for the position “left menu”. This can be english, german , french or whatever.
   But if the language is switched the standard menu changes but not the left menu.

 * Hello [@vanbrel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vanbrel/),
 * That part of the menu is under third-party plugin control, and we don’t have 
   that option. So please get in touch with your third-party plugin author. Maybe
   they have a solution that we are not aware of.
 * The only solution I can remember it works is this plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-polylang-support-for-customizer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-polylang-support-for-customizer/),
   and it’s working fine on my end.

 * Hi
 * Oh I have an idea: another menu position (“left menu”)would resolve the problem.
   And fpor that no third party would be neccessary.
