Polylang is a very powerful tool to enable your WordPress site to be multilingual.
The only problem, I met during development is not simple and clear way of copying of custom fields to new language posts versions.
Answer was found here [resolved] polylang not syncing custom fields
If you want to make some custom field to be common for all languages, then you need to add to your functions.php file following lines:
add_filter('pll_copy_post_metas', 'copy_post_metas'); function copy_post_metas($metas) { return array_merge($metas, array('my_slider_caption')); }
If you want to make your custom field to be unique for all languages, then do the following:
add_filter('pll_copy_post_metas', 'copy_post_metas'); function copy_post_metas($metas) { return array_splice($metas, array('my_slider_caption')); }
In my case, I needed to remove meta ‘my_slider_caption’ from list of registered metas in order to enable different captions for a Slider.
