 * Hi,
    I have just installed wp touch pro theme for my mobile theme. I installed
   latest version of Polylang too. All is fine until one thing. When I am running
   mygourmetrip.com ( wich change to become mygourmetrip.com.es )from my mobile 
   site I lost thumbnails from post and slider on main page. If I ve got polylang
   disabled , only running with wp touch mobile theme , thumbails and slider appears
   on main page. Any ideas ? need to change polylang setting or wptouch settings?
   Thanks Cedric

 * Here’s what I got so far from **WPtouch Pro** support:
 * “WPtouch Pro currently only includes official support for WPML. What we can do
   is add this to the list of feature requests to consider for a later release. 
   Looking back, there haven’t been other support requests for Polylang. So we hadn’t
   seen this reported before. So thank you for letting us know and for helping make
   WPtouch Pro even better. WPtouch Pro’s developers will consider the feature in
   a later release.”
 * After I begged them to look into it, I got this:
 * Martin [apparently one of the developers] took a look at this and some noticeable
   differences between WPML and Polylang are that:
 * “WPML stores translations as part of the post (presumably post meta), Polylang
   is a lot cruder, storing translations as separate pages & posts (with different
   URLs!) and simply recording a cross-reference between them.”
 * “The first issue is easy enough to diagnose: they’ve probably got WPtouch set
   to use “WordPress Pages” for the menu, which obviously just dumps everything 
   out
 * Unlike WPML, which switches the contents of the menu items for the language you’re
   using, Polylang requires that you manually maintain separate menus for each language.
   We would have to completely rewrite sections of our menu module to allow customers
   to pick which menu is for which language. [Which is not in our current future
   plans.]”
 * **So probably better stay away from either WPtouch or Polylang if you wanna run
   a multilingual WordPress site.**

 * I found a solution, but it is neither very sophisticated nor very elegant. It
   works though.
 * What I did (I currently have a German and English version):
 * 1. I created the German and the English mobile menu in WordPress.
 * 2. I selected the German menu as primary menu in WPtouch settings. Then opened
   the mobile page, opened page source code of the rendered page and copied the 
   html-code of the menu (“`<ul class="menu-tree parent-links"><li class="menu-item........./
   li></ul>`“) to an empty text file.
 * 3. Same as step 2 with the English menu.
 * 4. I edited the header-bottom.php file in the WPtouch child theme:
 * Commented out line 3
 *  `<?php /* if ( wptouch_has_menu( 'primary_menu' ) ) { wptouch_show_menu( 'primary_menu');}*/?
   >`
 * and added instead
 *  `<?php if(‘de’ == pll_current_language()) { ?>
    “THE COPIED GERMAN HTML CODE”
   <?php } else { ?> “THE COPIED ENGLISH HTML CODE” <?php } ?>`
 * Now the menus are hardcoded into the template. If you want to change/update the
   menus you have to follow the above steps again, which in my case takes less than
   five minutes and my menus won’t change very often.

 * Hi,
 * I am also using Polylang and WPtouch and have the same problem as you guys and
   have two languages on my site.
    Could you be so kind Michael to explain me in
   detail the step two. Which file should I open to see the html code of the menu
   and where to put it then?
 * Thanks in advance.
