Translated taxonomies using Polylang will not filter

Hello Trevor,

Im using Polylang to manage an English/French website. We required to use Polylang due to a limitation in WPML, however its been so long I cant remember the details. Polylang allows us to translate categories and tags, and even though the translated tags show up correctly, they all indicate (0) posts associated with the tag, and the search result page will show all posts within that post type with no filter applied.

Are the posts and the forms being translated?

The posts are translated, but not the filter forms did not translate. Instead we duplicated the form and made modifications to the header labels and All Items labels for each language. We then use the different shortcode used for both the English and French pages where the search filter form resides.

The forms must be translated, not duplicated, otherwise they will not switch with the language.

In the Post Types that are translated by Polylang (it has a settings page for this), are Search & Filter forms set to be translated?

Ah, understood.

Within Polylang, under Custom post types and Taxonomies, the Search & Filter custom post type was automatically created and is checked. The checkmark is greyed out and cannot be unchecked even.
