WCM User 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 · 75% 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.

   Just what I needed. To set a different language for the admin and keep the ‘original’ language at the front. Perfect for managing a website that is published in a language I’m not speaking.

   Subsite users in a multi-lingual multi-site network will appreciate the ease of transitioning from one language to another. This also allows the settings > general menu (where language switching also appears) to be hidden if necessary.
