Biggest opportunity: “internationalization”, “polylang” and “service” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 70 of 9.8K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Multilingual plugin keeps 0.9%, 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| proofreading | #6 | #10 | up 1 |
| internationalization your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| polylang your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| service your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| translation your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wpml your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.
