# user entered text localisation

 * Hello,
 * I will use Polylang on a site where admins can enter text in fields in wordpress
   option panel I created. I would like the admin to be able to translate these 
   strings in the available languages (for me fr, en and de). I take an example 
   to be clearer. I have this textarea in my option page:
 *     ```
       <textarea style="width: 100%;" name="tiles_homepage_edit_settings_options[support_text_3]" rows="3"><?php echo $support_text_3; ?></textarea>
       ```
   
 * I would like to have this textarea displaying 3 times (one for each language)
   or a link for each language translation (like in the posts). Is that possible?
   How ? Should I use `pll_register_string()` function?
    Thanks in advance.

 * Hi!
 * Yes pll_register_string() / Pll__() are intended to do that.
    You can also use
   a wpml-config.xml file. See [https://polylang.pro/doc/the-wpml-config-xml-file/](https://polylang.pro/doc/the-wpml-config-xml-file/)

 * Thanks Chouby for this confirmation.
    But the strings that have to be translated
   are displaying in the polylang admin panel isn’t it? I would like to have the
   translation ability directly in my admin option page…
