Biggest opportunity: Swap “multilingual”, “ai translation” and “chatgpt” for “deepl”, “automatic translation” and “translator”. “multilingual” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “deepl” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ai translation” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “automatic translation” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “chatgpt” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “translator” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →4.0%
of downloads still active
At least 70K of 1.7M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Multilingual plugin keeps 0.8%, across 281 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 14 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “multilingual”, “ai translation” and “chatgpt” for “deepl”, “automatic translation” and “translator”. “multilingual” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “deepl” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ai translation” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “automatic translation” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “chatgpt” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “translator” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “ai translation”. Down 6 places since 2026-09-18, now #23. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- Slipping on “chatgpt”. Down 6 places since 2026-09-18, now #21. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- Under-ranked on “multilingual”. wp.org puts you #24; on merit you place #11. The plugins above you are winning on install count, not on rating or upkeep.
