How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    I can confirm: 5 minutes for installing, debuggin and removing. It just saved me hours. If you can’t find how it works, take a look at the end of your website’s page to find all the details about i18n.
