Translate WordPress with GTranslate

Reviewers keep praising fast, friendly support from named GTranslate staff who resolve setup and translation issues quickly, with one recent gripe about pushy in-admin review-request banners.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

2311 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 2242 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

Directory rank vs rivals

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 11 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

11 of the last 25 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 7 of those landed between 2026-05-31 and 2026-06-19.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

   We have been very satisfied with GTranslate and its support team throughout the setup of our multilingual website. Suzan and Arshak were always quick to respond, carefully investigated every question we had, and followed up until each issue was fully resolved. Their explanations were clear, professional, and easy to understand. Some of the issues we encountered were related to our WordPress configuration and third-party plugins rather than GTranslate itself, but the team consistently helped us identify the real cause and guided us in the right direction. We truly appreciate their dedication and excellent customer service. Thank you, Suzan and Arshak, for your outstanding support! The plugin itself has been reliable and works very well for our multilingual website. Highly recommended.
