Language Switcher

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

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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 · 78% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   This plugin would be just perfect if it had its bugs fixed. It seems to perform some language detection with session cookies that constantly introduces errors, such as all pages being shown as language:English in both the site and the admin panel.

   Installed, activated, and turned on the menu switcher on my main nav. The plugin replaced (?) several menu items with its switcher menu item. Soon thereafter, the entire front end of the site died. Wouldn’t even load anything at all, so likely a PHP issue or incompatibility. Deactivating took everything back to normal. Really too bad, as I could use this plugin’s functionality.

   A super simple and useful plugin. Is it possible to add a photo of language flags? Such a visual option would definitely be great.
