Posts disappear with WordPress Multisite using Polylang plugin

I’ve been searching for the best language/translation plugin for WordPress on and off for a while and this morning I thought in Polylang I’d found it. It seems to be sensibly organised and has useful features allowing you to automatically moves pages (and I assumed posts) into the default language for the blog when you activate it.

However my joy was short lived – activating Polylang on a multisite wordpress install also renders all of my blog posts invisible – pages are still there and can be assigned to language specific portions/menus of the site – so structurally it’s fine but my blog is gone until I disable the plugin. There are a few mentions of this happening on other fora but nothing canonical in terms of an explanation. Any clues?
