Biggest opportunity: Swap “language” for “openrouter”. “language” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “openrouter” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.8%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 5.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Multilingual plugin keeps 0.8%, across 280 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Multilingual plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 6 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| polylang your tag | #14 | #21 | 0 |
| translate your tag | #24 | #23 | 0 |
| openrouter | #24 | #17 | down 3 |
| auto translate | #22 | #22 | down 1 |

6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “language” for “openrouter”. “language” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “openrouter” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “polylang”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Very simple, no extra functionality, but it works as charm and it is free.Bulk translation would be great, but for my current project i love it this way.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Fabio1.4y ago
I was trying to use this plugin, it works, but has zero usability in mind It only translates when you create a new post/page or content, but does not edit or gives you the option to “translate again”, so if you edit the original content, you can’t use it to translate again. This is probably easy to adapt, but there’s no github for the code so I can’t help with my own code (sorry, i’ll never use SVN again 😁) The concept is fine, it can grow adding more buttons/actions for the user so he can choose when to translate and from/to whatever the user wants, then the LLM does the work. Other issue: the limitation of models, there’s a lot of new models to use but the plugin limits them with a narrow options, example: I use Gemini Flash 2.5, but the selector only gives me the 2.0 option.

The plugin is great and works really well. However, it would be even better with integration for SEO plugins like SEOPress or Rank Math.

The plugin is a very good idea. It works reasonably well for translating articles and simple pages, but for complex ones with lots of shortcodes, it doesn’t work.I made a similar one myself, but ran into the same problems. Good luck if you thought of improving the plugin!

First of all, I want to thank you for the great plugin! It works excellently, and I’m really satisfied with its functionality. However, I have a feature request that would be incredibly helpful for my use case. Currently, when sending long requests to ChatGPT, I run into limitations where the response exceeds the token limits. As a result, I only receive about 20-30% of the page’s content due to the response being cut off. Would it be possible to add a feature that allows splitting the response into multiple parts? This way, I could handle longer outputs more effectively without losing valuable content. Thank you so much for considering this! It would make a huge difference in ensuring that I can use the plugin to its fullest potential.

good for single article translation. please add bulk translating features. i have websites with 800+ articles i want to translate to 20 more languages. so translating one by one is not possible .
