Multilanguage by BestWebSoft – WordPress Translation Plugin and 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 · 48% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   You can’t even ask them basic questions on how to do something, or if its possible to do something with their plugin without registering an account with them. I wasn’t able to find any online tutorials anywhere. Hard pass.

   I’m using Multilanguage on my website, and it works perfectly! The convenient language switcher allows visitors to easily switch between languages, and the built-in language translator makes the translation process fast and simple. The plugin supports Google Translate, which greatly simplifies setting up multi-language content. WordPress translation is implemented at the highest level, and the admin translation feature helps translate even the admin panel elements. An excellent solution for those who want to make their website accessible to a global audience! Highly recommend! 🌍🚀

   The free version is very limitied, and when I disabled the plugin, some pages were gone, which made me have to restore the site to a previous backup. Use with caution! This topic was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by startab.

   Totally useless plugin, unless you buy the pro version you are stuck with HTTP and no HTTPS option is available to non paying users, not nice.

   the idea of the functionality is just super! but… gives a lot of errors when switching to languages. result: I decided to abandon this plugin.
