Show Language Counts for Polylang

Description

A lightweight helper plugin for Polylang users.
This plugin shows per-language counts for posts, products, pages, and any custom post types that you have enabled in Polylang.

It does not change WordPress’s built-in counters (All, Published, Draft).
Instead, it adds a clean info box above the list table showing counts for each language.

Works for:

  • Blog posts
  • Pages
  • WooCommerce products
  • Elementor templates
  • Any post type activated under
    Languages Settings Custom post types and Taxonomies

✨ Features

  • Automatically detects all Polylang-enabled post types
  • Shows published count and total count per language
  • Works on all edit.php screens (Posts, Products, Templates, etc.)
  • No database changes, safe & lightweight
  • Compatible with:
    • Polylang (free)
    • Polylang Pro
    • WooCommerce
    • Elementor
    • WordPress Multisite

📝 Example Output

A small info box appears above the list:

Language
Published
All Statuses

Svenska (sv)

360

English (en)
280
290

🎯 Why You Need This

Polylang does not display language-wise counts in the admin.
Store owners and content editors often need to know:

  • How many products are translated?
  • How many posts exist per language?
  • How many items are missing in one language?

This plugin solves that without modifying WP core behavior.
