 * When I activate Polylang, my site (birthdoulajerusalem.com) crashes – Internal
   Server Error + 500 Internal Server Error. (No problem accessing the site when
   I deactivate.)
 * I think it may be due to the options I checked or unchecked in the dashboard 
   because the first time my site crashed, I fixed it by checking one of the polylang
   options in the dashboard, but it crashed again when I tried to select one of 
   the languages.
 * Is my theme(Bouquet)compatible? Polylang has .po and .mo files for the languages
   I need – Do I have to pick a translation-ready theme?

 * Yes a translation ready theme is mandatory (this is the case for Bouquet). I 
   did not make a deep test but it is most probably compatible. However languages
   files are not supplied with the theme so you will either have to find them on
   the internet (I found them for French) or translate it yourself. The .mo files
   supplied with Polylang are for the Polylang admin only.
 * Regarding the error 500, I never experienced this myself but according to google,
   it seems that it can have many causes:
    * Memory issue: try deactivating other
   plugins. * plugins conflicts: same as above * php version: I guess you are using
   PHP5 * file permissions (to be checked) * bad .htaccess maybe other causes…
