Thanks @chrysti. I made it working with the following code:

//******************************************************************************************************
//*** Keep query string parameters in Polylang translated urls
//******************************************************************************************************
add_filter('pll_translation_url', 'keep_params_in_pll_translated_urls', 10, 2);
function keep_params_in_pll_translated_urls($url, $lang)
{
    $query_string = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
    if ( $query_string ) $url .= '?' . $query_string;
    return $url;
}

However I wonder why it is not the default behavior in PLL…

Cheers,
Yves.

For anyone interested by my initial question, I just discovered this tread which gives the full dimension of the problem I addressed (and also a workaround worth testing).

Hello Rachel,

In your case, your link is hardcoded to your english page (you have the /en/ slug embedded in your url). So you have no chance to go to Spanish.

I see two solutions for your footer:

• either you use some php code for retrieving the id of the correct page depending on the current language.
• or you define a Spanish menu which is different to the English menu and includes the correct Spanish urls, and you insert the menus in your footer. This possibility may depend on your theme.

And regarding my question, I am afraid I have the answer: a given page is assigned a language so it can’t display the content in several languages. Actually the Buddypress example is different as these are not real pages.

Hope this helps,
Yves.

OK, no response, so maybe I was unclear in expressing my problem, sorry. :/

So let’s try it differently. Fundamentally, my question is:

could a given page (with a given single id) can display its content indifferently in several languages provided that all its content is php-generated with proper esc_html__(‘string’, ‘text-domain’) calls and that all traductions are provided in .mo files?

Thanks in advance anybody for your response! I really need to know if Polylang is the right plugin or not for my site.
Yves.

Hello,

Is there any chance I could get some tips to answer my question? If no, could you please just tell me? I can understand this plugin is no longer your priority, it would greatly help to clarify.

Thanks,
Yves.
