Nicola Steyn	Background of the issue: I am setting up a multisite and trying to display translations on the page/post listing page without editing them within the page itself. I have followed recommendations to deactivate plugins on the network admin site. I want the setup and UI to match another site where this plugin is installed. Symptoms: I am unable to enable the 'Language' column in the admin UI to show translations on the page/post listing page. Questions: How can I enable the 'Language' column in the admin UI for a multisite setup? Why are the translations not showing on the page/post listing page despite following the same setup process as another site?

Please let me know if you need further assistance. Regards, Carlos

Nicola Steyn	Hi Carlos, thanks for your reply. The page / post type is active for translations but the languages option is not visible under screen options.
