 * Hi,
 * I used polylang theme strings plugins, but i couldn’t see any theme string in
   string translation section. I used wordpress internalization function __(‘…’).
   Does polylang only find strings used with the functions pll__(‘…’) and pll_e(‘…’).
 * Thank you

 * Hi,
 * Polylang “finds” only strings registered with `pll_register_string()`. Strings
   internationalized with `__()` must be translated with po/mo files for example
   with Loco Translate.
