Hi Safwana, I have a multi lingual site managed by a Polylang plugin. I added the php code and it is working well only for my english categories. Unfortunately this is not working for my French translations, which are can still editable in the front end even if they are listed in the script.
Could you please assist regarding this matter?

Problem resolved, it was due to accents on my category. As a workaround I edited my category with a name without accents.
