# String translations issue

 * Hello,
 * I have multiple strings coming from my theme traslated with Polylang and Loco.
   
   For some reason those translations are not working only when the option “The 
   language is set from content” is selected. With the other options my translations
   are active. [Here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pinnacle-theme-strings-for-polylang/page/2/#post-10952649)
   you can see the options we tested with the theme support. Do you know how can
   I solve this problem?
 * If I change the setting “The language is set from content” most of my external
   URLs will stop working and this is not what I need 😉
 * Thanks and regards,
    Nace

 * Hello,
 * When the language is set from the content, some plugins / themes load their translations
   before Polylang could define the language. Generally it’s better to keep the 
   default option (the language from the directory name).

 * Hi Chouby,
 * it is not an option for me to change the urls as I already have a lot of external
   links and they will stop working.
 * I will ask my theme support for other ideas how to fix this.
 * Thanks,
    Nace
