 * Hi,
 * Great plugin! After evaluating all the major WordPress translation plugins, I
   decided to use Polylang. Very happy with it!
 * I am having an issue with string translation:
 * I have English set as the primary language. (Order 1).
    And Chinese as the secondary
   language (Order 2).
 * I registered a Polylang string in functions.php:
    pll_register_string(‘Related
   Links Title’, ‘Related Links’);
 * And I use it in my theme page.php template file:
    echo pll__(‘Related Links’);
 * In the Polylang settings page, I can provide a translations for this string. 
   However, the “Translations” column shows the language as, “English”. The translations
   I provide displays on the English page.
 * Shouldn’t the column display my secondary language, Chinese, so I can provide
   a Chinese translation?
 * Thanks!

 * Be sure you’re displaying both languages in the top admin bar, and not only English.
