Biggest opportunity: Swap “multilingual” for “visual”. “multilingual” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “visual” sits at #7 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 →10.0%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 4K 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 11 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “multilingual” for “visual”. “multilingual” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “visual” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “manual translation”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I installed this plugin. It worked in some of my pages and didn’t even show the icon on some others. so I deactivate and deleted it. but it didn’t. it is not in my plugins list but it hasn’t been erased. Even when I go to Add New plugin, it shows like I have this plugin in my website. This topic was modified 4 days, 16 hours ago by kerambak.

We had a phrase that was being translated to mean basically the opposite of what was intended. This plugin was about to let us fix it without needing a paid version of GTranslate. Haven’t noticed an impact to site speed yet. So it was a lifesaver.
