Biggest opportunity: Swap “multilingual” and “translation” for “chinese” and “convert”. “multilingual” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “chinese” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “translation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “convert” 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 →8.4%
of downloads still active
At least 300K of 3.6M 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 8 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.

Recent review vibe
read from the latest 12 reviews to 2026-05-05Reviewers keep rating it highly and count on it for Cyrillic transliteration, though a few flag WooCommerce and theme compatibility snags, a missing settings import/export, and update bugs that get patched in later versions.

Cyr-To-Lat Версия 6.7.0 не работает при создании и быстром редактировании категории woocommerce в шаблоне woodmart (тестировалось с 8.3.9 и 8.4.1), при обычном редактировании все корректно. Предыдущая версия Cyr-To-Lat 6.6.0 функционировала без проблем. P.S. в версии 6.8.0 все исправлено. This topic was modified 2 months, 2 weeks ago by grisym.

The plugin supports Russian, Belorussian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian and Kazakh characters. Unfortunately, support for other languages (Greek, Armenian, Georgian, Hebrew, and Chinese) does not work at all.

С последним обновлением стали корректно работать ранее созданные атрибуты, раньше после выгрузки отключал плагин, сейчас работает как надо. Спасибо!

Плагин отличный (6.0.5), транслитерировал урлы (слаги для продвинутых) записей, страниц и меню и всего остального.Обратите внимание, что транслитерацию урлов всех меток (/tag/) и категорий (/category/) он тоже сделает, а в настройках нет отдельных пунктов отвечающих за метки и категории.
