What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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.

    Thanks for your plugin, it help me to clean up qtranslate-x tags on all of my posts and custom post types. I found that this plugin does not clean up qtranslate-x tag on WP Navigation ( appearance->menu ), and taxonomy descriptions. It would be nice and more helpful if it can be improved to that direction. Thanks again for the plugin.

    Plugin seem to do it’s job, but never completes since the browsers gets unresponsive after some minutes of processing. I’m using this plugin on a site with a few thousand posts and pages. Started over a few times but it’s unclear if the plugin starts over or continues the overal process.

    Migrating my QTranslate site to WPML worked flawlessly and saved me a lot of time.

    This must not considered as a plugin, it is a complete destroyer of sites, after the “cleaning” you have no titles, no content, and only in very few pages there are only the languages brackets left… Where did you tried it? i tried it in 2 test sites because i couldn`t dare to use it in a proper site, and i tried it with native wordpress themes. You should be a shame that you still have this killer crap in your repository, remove this immediately. Everybody keep away, don`t even bother to download it!

    It does’nt translate all the medias, so half of yours posts will be without images or videos in the second language. Besides, on certain posts it removes totally what’s before the more link. In qtranslate you don’t need to translate the categories so after using the plugin, you will have to translate some taxonomies and then you will need to set the categories for the posts in second language. So if you have only a couple of posts go for it, if you have hundreds and hundreds posts, pick a translation system at the beginnig.
