Biggest opportunity: Swap “flags” for “language”. “flags” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “language” sits at #19 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 →1.8%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 57K 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 9 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.

It works well on my sites, looks much better .

Great work! The Language Switcher is a valuable addition to an already awesome plugin. The suggestions (and a bug) that I reported were all resolved in an update – within a few hours. I really hope that you and Ofer keep up the good work of improving Transposh. Transposh is the ideal approach for multilanguage sites that have their contents in sync across languages. =============(RESOLVED: I do have one suggestion though: please add an option to choose a flag that distinguishes between en-gb and en-us. Some clients don’t want a US flag on their site, some explicitly need a US flag on their site… I now rename the .png files but I’ll have to remember doing so after each update. Also I read about a feature to choose between Transposh flags and plugin flags. (TP defaults to US flag, the Switcher plugin defaults to GB flag so that option could solve my specific problem.) I don’t see that option. Maybe it’s in the “Styles” tab in the Settings page, which is not accessible.) This topic was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by Anton_Th.

I am a long-time user of Transposh. This plugin has been a powerful tool for me. But, I also use the Avada theme, which makes Transposh use a nightmare. Thanks to the quick support of Marco Gasi, I can now use it on my websites. This plugin works perfectly. Thanks a lot!!!

Verry good tools if you use Transposh for translate your website.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ruudio5.2y ago
Already the Transposh translator is a standout in making a multi-lingual website. Under the Divi theme, the widget does not work well. But this plugin solves that. It gives us beautiful flags for translation where we need them. Congratulations to Transposh and the developer. Ofer great job and Marco well done. Thank you all
