Biggest opportunity: “contact form 7”, “contact form 7 extension” and “contact form 7 module” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 4K of 103.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,667 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.

I tested this plugin and it worked, but in the end I switched to https://wordpress.org/plugins/multilingual-contact-form-7-with-polylang/, because 1. you don´t have to install multiple plugins, but only this single one and 2. you don´t need to create a form for every language, but can simply use one for all languages and translate it with Polylang´s string translations

I was looking for many times for a real, fast and good working multilanguage Contact Form solution or plugin and I found this fantastic “Contact Form 7 Polylang Module”. When starting a new contact form 7, now you can select the language as desired and configured with Polylang. The form will be translated almost automatically! Super and wonderful. 🙂 Keep going the good work!!! Good job. This earns more than 5 stars.

and this one doesn’t work either CF7 Smart Grid-layout! do not install this plugin (((

This is a must-have plugin if you have CF7 and Polylang. The author even added a new mailtag [_home_url] that will return the translated homepage instead of using the [_site_url] Good and fast support too. So: 5* well earned.

requires extra WP plugin with a lot of unwanted css and js files, which you can not dequeue in functions.php This topic was modified 8 years ago by positivecrash.

Thankfully this Plugin is here to rescue CF7 Forms when using Polylang for translations.

Easy to use and makes a big difference when you are working on a multilingual website. Responded the same day I asked a question which is a first in the WP-world for me! Keep up the good work.
