 * Hello,
 * Today I decided to organize my website a bit and I changed some categories. I
   also made a few new ones. But now I have a problem. My website is in two languages:
   Dutch and English. I can see the new categorie names when reading my site in 
   Dutch language, but not when my site is in English (I just use English words 
   for my categories).
 * When I name a category, it automatically save the category name as [:nl]Travel[:],
   even when i just fill in ‘Travel’. When I put it in English behind it, like [:
   nl]Travel[:en]Travel[:], my website shows the whole code. Anyone know what to
   do?

 * I have exactly the same problem, seems to mainly affact post type Product (Woo)
   when there is a specific taxonomy added. Regular Products seem to work but the
   cateories get messed up?

 * I am sorry for your trouble. We currently do not have resources to answer support
   questions for free and rely on the community to provide a possible solution, 
   which seems to work well in many cases. Thank you very much to our active community
   members who take a good time to answer people’s problems!
 * We need to figure out a way to monetize the support and further development. 
   We would highly appreciate if you take about 5 minutes of your time to respond
   to the survey linked here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-the-future-of-qtranslate-x/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-the-future-of-qtranslate-x/)
