Configuring the app
How can I create copies of each page?
You can duplicate your pages in the PAGES section in weebly by clicking COPY for a particular page.
This will create a duplicate of your page and you can translate the content in the newly created page.
Note that there does not need to be a 1 to 1 relation between pages in all languages (different languages can have different number of pages).

I configured the languages of each page but I'm not seeing any pages of X language - hiding pages from navigation
Please check that you are not "hiding pages from navigation". The app's job is to selectively hide pages from navigation according to language. If you hide pages from navigation, the app won't be able to find them in the published site.
IS MY THEME SUPPORTED?
The app is quite strong in supporting themes and as far as we know all themes are supported.
However, since theme developing is possible for anyone, it might be that a new theme does not work well with the app.
So: please check that the app goes well with your theme before buying the app! (both desktop and mobile)
If your theme is not supported please let us know!

HOW DOES THE "I WILL ADD MY OWN #LANG_LINKS" OPTION WORK?
This option is for people who know HTML/CSS and want to create their own language selection.
If you select this option, the app will look for any element that has id="lang_links" in them and add the language selection links there.
You can even forego these links entirely and add your own links too, if you dont create a lang_links element.
You can create your own links. You must use href="javascript:change_lang('en')" for creating an english link for example.
Some themes offer different versions for mobile, so if you customize your theme for this you must check that it still applies for mobile.

CAN I HAVE A DIFFERENT FOOTER FOR EACH LANGUAGE?
HOW CAN I ADD TRANSLATIONS TO THE LONG DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTS IN THE STORE?
In the same way as you add custom footers for each language, you can use the "language content" element to add translations for the long description of products.
Account
I NEED TO TRY THE APP SOME MORE TIME BEFORE I BUY...
You can add more time to your trial.
When the trial period is over you can click on the link in the "upgrade your account" page to get extra trial days.
You can do this as many times as you want. You should know that every time the trial period expires, the multilanguage is removed from your site and you have to login to apply changes again.

WILL I LOSE MY DATA/SUBSCRIPTION IF I UNINSTALL THE APP?
Your data and subscription is in our servers so if you uninstall the app, your data will remain. However, the drag and drop elements from multilanguage app such as "language content" will be lost if you uninstall the app. If you need to disable multilanguage you can do that from the app without uninstalling.
