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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    We´re using Yootheme as main Builder for our sites. No other translation-plugin integrates so perfect! Thanks Stéphane!

    I have discovered this plugin because of a client at work and I really liked it’s implementation. Yesterday I had a big problem and I can say that sbouey gave me amazing support. It took a while to figure out the problem, and asked me everything needed to pinpoint the problem. I had tons of emails with news and progress delivered to my inbox and when I answered the reply was always fast. In the end the problem was solved with today’s update. Again, this plugin is amazing, but the people behind it is even greater. I really recommend you try and support it 🙂

    A perfectly made translation module that works very well with Elementor. Professional support that responds substantively within a few minutes.

    A great translation tool if you use Yootheme.What I appreciate most about this plugin is its clarity and intuitive controls. It saved me a lot of time when I translated the site into multiple languages. I appreciate also excelent customer service.

    I tried many multilanguage plugins and choose this one. Using shortcode for inserting.
