Biggest opportunity: Swap “automatic translation” for “translation”. “automatic translation” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “translation” sits at #24 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 100 of 5.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,016 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI 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 38 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

What to do about it
- Swap “automatic translation” for “translation”. “automatic translation” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “translation” sits at #24 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 “wpml”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ johndelange7mo ago
As my website is larger than most websites, using AI within WPML is very expensive. With this plugin I can finally start translating all posts into several languages without breaking the bank! The AI can use several versions, ranging from fast and cheap to a bit slower and expensive. Just choose the version that suits your needs and niche for the best results. Support is excellent. If needed Szymon reacts fast and comes with a solution to get everything working perfectly! If you use WPML and want to translate a multilingual website, just use LATW AI Translator for WPML to get it done fast and way cheaper!

I have always found it annoying that you had to purchase credits through WPML to translate a page with AI. This plugin finally solves that problem and allows me to use my own OpenAI API key for translations. I tested it for translations from French to English, and it worked perfectly, even for translations of pages created with the Elementor Editor. I understand the limitation to translating only into English (to guide you towards the pro version), but it might be better to have the option to choose which language you translate into with the free version. Not everyone needs translation (just) to English. I am considering purchasing the pro version; it could save a lot of time! This topic was modified 5 months, 2 weeks ago by HungryJos.
