Biggest opportunity: Swap “international” for “international seo”. “international” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “international seo” sits at #9 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 →0.1%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 12.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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 6 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| transifex your tag | #5 | #14 | — |
| international seo | #9 | #24 | 0 |
| international your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| localization your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| localize your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| multilingual your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
8 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 6 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank
Ranked about #30,400 to #44,800, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

Transifex have done an outstanding job reimagining how we translate content for the web with their Transifex Live service. I am proud to have contributed to the code early on and to see it continue to grow. It not only saves hours of time when compared to other translation methods, but also integrates with one of the most powerful and intuitive localization platforms I have ever seen.
