 * 1. Your permalinks settings: Post-name with the language set from content.
    2.
   if you are using a static front page: yes, a static one. 3: your Polylang settings:
   default.
 * Hi Chouby
 * I am using the [Oyster Creative Photo WordPress theme from Envato Market](http://themeforest.net/item/oyster-creative-photo-wordpress-theme/8406045)
   and work on a bilingual website. Everything works fine but the Strings Translation.
   No matter what I put for the translation of, say, Tagline – nothing changes. 
   I get a feeling that the theme either overwrites Polylang translation or is loading
   after or else.
 * Is there a way to fix this?

 * Hello
 * Do some strings work with your theme + only Polylang with the other plugins deactivated?

 * I came to WordPress from Joomla since the rest of the world seems to be using
   WordPress these days. I had also heard that WP is no longer just for blog platforms.
   That may be the case, but for a nooby it is really confusing. Most of the documentation
   still assumes your WP site is for blogs. I want to create a completely bi-lingual
   site. I am not worried about the back-end (sorry ‘dashboard’) and I will not 
   be using blog postings on the site – with the exception of a link to a ‘forum’
   where registered users can post messages (in my day that was called a bulletin
   board 🙂 ). Will Polylang be the answer for me? See: [p2p4u-finance.com](http://p2p4u-finance.com)

 * @ Chrystl
 * I pretty much don’t have any plugins at the moment as it is a clean installation.
   I deactivated even the default ones to test what you are saying and the strings
   are still not translated.

 * Could you switch on Twenty Fifteen + only Polylang and check if the WordPress
   basic strings have been translated correctly: Site Title, Tagline, Date Format,
   Time Format?
