Working with 6.5.5 2024

This is a lifesaver...I had a problem with the footer translations...only one footer translation for all languages...not even polylang was able to fix it..well partially we fixed that...but only for pages and posts...for an ecom store...product categories and pages like my acc..still one footer translation for all of the languages...this one saved my life..would appreciate an update of the plugin...:)
Doesn't work

The language button does appear quite all right on Appearance->Customize. However, whatever language you customize in, the text gets copied to the other language. For example, once you customize in English, and then switch to French and customize, the English text immediately changes to the French and vice versa. Probably doesn't work with the latest Polylang update.
Offer helpful customization for a multilingual website, but there are some issue
