Lay Theme and Polylang_Front Page
Hello,
I have to translate a website from English to French with Polylang.
All the page work perfectly with the language switcher, except the Font page! Apparently it is not allow to set a double language front page. Does anyone how to solve this problem?

Dear @maximilianm
Could you please post a link to your website and i can take a better look, and some screenshots if possible?
Just to get a better understanding of the issue :)
Best wishes and have a wonderful day

Having the same (or a similar) issue with Polylang and the home page. Would be great if @Djao-Rakitine or also @ArneRobot (http://laythemeforum.com:4567/topic/5186/multilanguage-problem-with-home-page-polylang?_=1601884029786) could post their solutions.
I also reached out to Polylang directly and will post here if they can provide help.
Got this solved, thanks to Polylang's support:
And this should do it! It worked for me, with a site in English and Japanese. Note that we're using Project Thumbnails for our home page (not Thumbnail Grid or Element Grid), and had to manually add the Japanese thumbnails to the Japanese home page.
XML file and Polylang's screenshot are here: https://tinyurl.com/y42xtz8b
Hope this helps!

Dear @nypaloto, dear @Richard-Keith,
as the english site worked perfectly with the solution above, I wanted to start with the french and spanish versions of the site.
So I added another language in Polylang, added the page ID in the Polylang’s string section »frontpage_select_page« ...
... but on the front-page, when I click on »FR«, this link is still linked to the »EN« version of the site –> www.matteroffact.de
Does anyone has an idea, why this is not working? Thanks again for your help!
Greetings from Cologne

Unfortunately, I can't help with this. But the solution I posted came directly from Polylang's support, so I'd reach out to them. Good luck!
Dear Alex @rocked23
Without knowing exactly whats going on with your polylang, it is difficult to help fully :)
You could always force the link with jQuery added to "custom <head> content" within 'Lay Options - Custom CSS & HTML'
