<p><strong>QBlocks Menu Sync for Polylang</strong> adds a “Duplicate Menu” panel to the WordPress Appearance > Menus screen. Clone any navigation menu — including all items, hierarchy, and settings — in seconds, with full Polylang multilingual support.</p>
<p>This plugin is not affiliated with Polylang or its developers. “Polylang” is a trademark of its respective owner; this plugin simply integrates with the Polylang plugin’s public API.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>One-click menu duplication</strong> — duplicate any menu with all items preserved</li>
<li><strong>Polylang integration</strong> — clone menus to one or more target languages in a single action</li>
<li><strong>Smart translation</strong> — automatically links to translated pages, posts, and taxonomy terms when available</li>
<li><strong>Fallback handling</strong> — keeps original linked objects when no translation exists</li>
<li><strong>Custom links</strong> — duplicated as-is with no changes</li>
<li><strong>Theme location assignment</strong> — optionally assign the cloned menu to any registered theme location</li>
<li><strong>Polylang-aware locations</strong> — assigns per-language location slots without affecting other languages</li>
<li><strong>Unique naming</strong> — auto-generates unique menu names to prevent conflicts</li>
<li><strong>Source language badge</strong> — clearly shows which language you are cloning from</li>
<li><strong>Secure</strong> — nonce verification, capability checks, input sanitization, and output escaping throughout</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to <strong>Appearance > Menus</strong></li>
<li>Select the menu you want to duplicate</li>
<li>Open the <strong>Duplicate Menu</strong> panel (above the menu structure)</li>
<li>Choose target languages (if Polylang is active)</li>
<li>Optionally set a custom name and assign theme locations</li>
<li>Click <strong>Duplicate Menu</strong></li>
</ol>
<h4>Polylang Support</h4>
<p>When Polylang is active, the plugin detects the source menu’s language and offers all other active languages as targets. For each target language:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pages and posts are automatically linked to their translation</li>
<li>Categories and custom taxonomy terms are linked to their translation</li>
<li>If no translation exists, the original object is kept as a fallback</li>
<li>Custom links are duplicated unchanged</li>
<li>The new menu is assigned the correct Polylang language</li>
</ul>
<h4>Without Polylang</h4>
<p>The plugin works as a simple menu duplicator — no language features, just a clean copy of the menu and all its items.</p>
