 * After finding that the plugin wasn’t working for me, I’ve tried to remove it 
   but now all of my pages are redirecting to the home page. What has Polylang done
   to my site???

 * How did you remove the plugin ? If you used the delete link, then Polylang should
   remove cleanly. If you just delete the files then Polylang data are kept in database.
 * In both cases, go to permalinks settings and click on save changes.

 * I removed it by going through the plugin panel and disabling it. Now that I have
   the plugin working on my setup, it’s enabled again. I’ll keep the permalink settings
   trick in mind for the future though.

 * Well, it’s curious… I will check my uninstall file.

 * I confirm that there is a bug. The rewrite rules are not correctly reset when
   deactivating the plugin. The bug will be corrected in v0.7.
 * Waiting for this, resetting rewrite rules as described above works well.
