 * Hi!
 * I have some troubles with Polylang v1.6.1 on a clean Worpress instance at [http://balu-bau.eu/site](http://balu-bau.eu/site).
 * Polylang was the first plug-in, that I have installed and activated using the
   built-in installer after some little configuration:
    - Description
    - Time Zone = UTC+1
    - Time format
    - Permalinks was set to “Post name”
 * The settings of Polylang I have changed as follows:
    - Languages installed: hu_HU, de_DE, en_US
    - Default language: English
    - URL modifications had I set to “The language is set from the directory name
      in pretty permalinks”
 * After configuring Polylang I had added the “Language switcher” widget to the “
   Primary Sidebar”.
 * I thought, I’m done, and I had called using an Hungarian Firefox (after deleting
   the complete browser history) [http://balu-bau.eu/site](http://balu-bau.eu/site)
   and was redirected to [http://balu-bau.eu/site/en](http://balu-bau.eu/site). 
   I mean this is with the configuration described above wrong, I should have redirected
   to [http://balu-bau.eu/site/hu](http://balu-bau.eu/site). Is this true, or I’m
   wrong?
 * The next thing is, that the “Language switcher” widget shows always only one 
   language, the default one, with the configuration described above, only English.
 * Can me anyone help what I have did wrong?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello
    I tested with Twenty Fourteen 1.2 + only Polylang 1.6.1 (WP 4.0.1): it
   works.
 * > what I have did wrong?
 * Could you check these steps:
 * 1) Activate Polylang
    2) Create your languages => Settings > Languages > Tab 
   Languages 3) Choose your permalinks => Settings > Permalinks 4) Create your static
   front pages (if necessary) per language => Pages > Add new 4.1) Define your static
   front page => Settings > Reading 5) Choose your Polylang settings => Settings
   > Languages > tab “Settings” 6) Create your widget => Appearance > Widgets 7)
   Create your content which go in menus 8) Create your menus => Appearance > Menus.
   A menu per language. Put in your menus at least one page or post if you want 
   they appear on your website.

 * Hi Chrystl!
 * I have done the steps described by you. It looks like they have worked.
