 * Hi,
 * I am building a website for handicapped/disabled people. The contents of the 
   website are available in regular and in easy language. The Website has a switch“
   Show in Easy Language”. This all is possible with Polylang.
 * But theres a problem with the language files:
    – I created the basic language(
   german – de_DE – de) – When I want to create the easy german language the plugin
   does not allow to use the same language code another time (easy german – de_DE–
   de). Now I have given my easy Language the Language Code “ls” (Leichte Sprache–
   german for Easy Language), so I can use it. It works in the functionality but
   the language code is wrong of course.
 * My [other topic](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/deactivate-flags-in-the-backend?replies=1)
   in the forum is resulting from the same matter, cause both languages are displaying
   the german flag and theres no way to identify them (except for the mouse over)
