 * Hi,
 *  The database translation feature is nice but it’s only good for sites with only
   one language. Could we translate it to multiple languages usable from polylang?
 *  Is this supported or any plans to do so?
 * Kind Regards.

 * Hello tcorrea,
    In plugin there is .pot files, which you can use, as to frontend
   texts, you can change those from General Options.

 * Which is both insufficient for a multi language site with a language switch in
   the front-end.
 * The “View Product” string can’t be changed to a single value in the General Options.
   It has to be “View Product” in English, “Ver Produto” in Portuguese and so on.
 * The pot file is a proper solution, yes, but it’s not available to the front-end
   text which is what really matters.
 * Is there any way to support multiple languages on the front end (visitor switchable)?
   Or are there any plans to do so?

 * Dear user in order your request was possible you need to use our plugin with 
   some multi language plugins. But as our plugin is not compatible with any language
   plugins, the only way you may do, is create two different catalogs one with English
   the other with Portuguese

 * Hi Support.
 *  Having different catalogs can solve the problem of different language texts 
   in the product description, yes.
 *  But the text that is entered in the General Options not possible to be translated
   into multiple languages at the same time for a multi language site. That’s the“
   bug” with no workarounds. 🙂
    Will this ever be solved?
 *  If you were to use PolyLang API it would be easy to check if pll_register_string
   is available and call it to leave translations to the plugin.

 * Dear user,
    We have.pot .mo .po files, in any case, users can do that by themselves.
