 * Hi,
 * I am building a English / Arabic website using polylang, and Arabic needs to 
   have a seperate theme as the lanquage is RTL and does not use the latin letters.
 * I was wondering if there is a way to use this plugin to solve this issue, i.e
   make the language as the switch for the choice of template.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * Because of time differences, I am just seeing this now.
 * I will have to do some testing on my Test System with polylang to see how things
   work. I have dealt with polylang once before, but it was a different issue.
 * I will respond here soon.

 * A lot depends on what Settings you choose in Polylang. If you try to have identical
   URLs for a Page or Post, and use Polylang to determine which language the Page
   or Post will be displayed in, then my plugin cannot determine what Theme to use.
 * If the Polylang settings are set so that there is a difference in URL for a Page
   or Post depending what language it is being displayed in, then my plugin can 
   change the Theme to match the language.
 * However, the number of Settings entries in my plugin will depend upon those Polylang
   settings and, of course, how many Pages or Posts your site has.
 * For example, the Polylang “The language is set from the directory name in pretty
   permalinks” setting, when checked, would be a good choice, as it allows a single
   URL Prefix setting in my plugin to provide a Theme for a specific language.
 * Bottom line: do some testing with, say, 10 Pages or Posts, and see what works
   best in your situation.
 * Let me know if you need any more info.
