Q1. Does Toolkit for Polylang require Polylang?
Ans: Yes. Polylang must be installed and activated because Toolkit for Polylang works as an addon for Polylang multilingual websites.

Ans: No. You only need to keep at least one built-in tool enabled. You can use Translation Inspector, Duplicate Content, or both depending on your workflow.
Common Issues & Solutions
Q1. Why is the Scan Website button disabled?
Ans: The Scan Website button may remain disabled if some content does not have a default language assigned.
Click Set to default language. Toolkit for Polylang will assign the default language to the affected content and then allow the scan to continue.
Q2. How do I start a new website scan?
Ans: From your WordPress website, navigate to Languages > Toolkit for Polylang > Translation Inspector, then click Scan Website. Once the scan is complete, the results will appear in the Translation Health Report.
Q3. What should I fix first after running a scan?
Ans: Start with findings marked Critical, followed by Warnings. Open each issue first to understand what was detected, which content or language is affected, and the suggested solution before making changes.
Q4. How can I check whether an issue has been fixed?
Ans: After fixing a detected issue, use the individual rescan option. This checks that specific finding again without requiring a complete website scan. You can also run a full scan after making changes across multiple areas of your site.
Q5. What does Ignored mean in Translation Inspector?
Ans: An Ignored issue is a finding you have intentionally chosen not to address. This can be useful for content that is intentionally the same across languages, such as product names, company names, or technical terms.
Q6. Why is an issue still showing after I fixed it?
Ans: Use the Rescan issue option after making the change. The previous scan result may continue to appear until that issue or the complete website is scanned again.
Q7. Why is my translation coverage low?
Ans: A low translation coverage percentage generally means that some supported content still does not have translations in one or more active languages. Open the Coverage or Content section to review the affected content.
Q8. Why is Duplicate Content not appearing for my Elementor page?
Ans: Toolkit for Polylang does not duplicate Elementor pages because Elementor handles its own duplication workflow. Duplicate Content is intended for content created using the Classic Editor or Gutenberg.
Q9. Does Duplicate Content automatically translate the copied page?
Ans: No. Duplicate Content copies the existing source content into the new Polylang language version. You can then translate the content manually or use the optional AI Translation for Polylang addon.
Q10. Why are Elementor issues not appearing in Translation Inspector?
Ans: Make sure Elementor is active and that your website contains supported Elementor templates or multilingual configurations that Translation Inspector can review. After making changes, run another website scan to refresh the results.
