Clone any navigation menu — including all items, hierarchy, and settings — in seconds, with full Polylang multilingual support. 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.

For each target language: Pages and posts are automatically linked to their translation Categories and custom taxonomy terms are linked to their translation If no translation exists, the original object is kept as a fallback Custom links are duplicated unchanged The new menu is assigned the correct Polylang language Without Polylang The plugin works as a simple menu duplicator — no language features, just a clean copy of the menu and all its items.
