 * Not sure if I’m understanding correctly how PolyLang works but I seem to have
   a problem with sub-categories.
 * I have 3 languages on my site. I though I would translate post categories and
   they’d appear like this:
 * News (english)
    — Gite News — Local News Actualités (french) — Actualités du 
   Gite — Actualités locale Nieuws (Dutch) — Gîte Nieuws — Lokaal nieuws
 * Trouble is when I create the sub-categories only one language appears as a sub-
   category in that language, a third one always appears with no parent or just 
   under the english parent. Then, if I try and add a parent only the english parents
   appear like this.
 * News (english)
    — Gite News — Local News — Actualités du Gite — Actualités locale
 * Actualités (french)
 * Nieuws (Dutch)
    — Gîte Nieuws — Lokaal nieuws
 * Am I doing something wrong or mis-understanding something?
