 * Plugin was working fine, showed the categories as expected with shortcode [show_post_categories
   show=”category” hyperlink=”yes”]
 * Since I have added translations with polylang, categories are not displayed anymore.
   It is replaced by the name of the language (Français) and a link that goes to
   the homepage.
 * Is this a known issue ? Any workaround ?

 * Hello Vaudor
 * This is not a known issue, however I am aware that I should try and add some 
   more languages. This is on the Todo list but due to lack of time..
 * Is it my understanding you added the .mo & .po within the language folder?
 * As a short term solution; would you be able to modify the settings to French?

 * Hi [@addjp30](https://wordpress.org/support/users/addjp30/)
 * It´s best to undo the Polylang translation. There is no Polylang support included
   for the moment but it is now on the roadmap. However, this will take some time.
 * If you need to translate to your native language you can do this through the 
   settings menu; that´s settings – Show Post Categories [screenshot](https://ps.w.org/show-post-categories/assets/screenshot-4.png?rev=1364773)
 * Can you tell me what language is needed for you, and would you be willing to 
   share this so I can include it once we´re ready for production?
 * thanks
