Bogo is a straight-forward multilingual plugin for WordPress.
The core of WordPress itself has the built-in localization capability so you can use the dashboard and theme in one language other than English. Bogo expands this capability to let you easily build a multilingual blog on a single WordPress install.
Here are some technical details for those interested. Bogo plugin assigns <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/article/multilingual-wordpress/#different-types-of-multilingual-plugins" rel="ugc">one language per post</a>. It plays nice with WordPress – Bogo does not create any additional custom table on your database, unlike some other plugins in this category. This design makes Bogo a solid, reliable and conflict-free multilingual plugin.
<h4>Getting started with Bogo</h4>
<ol>
<li>
Install language packs
First, install language packs for languages you use on the site. You can view and install language packs in the Language Packs screen (Languages > Language Packs).
</li>
<li>
Select your language for admin screen
Bogo lets each logged-in user select a language for their admin screen UI. Select a language from the menu on the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/article/administration-screens/#toolbar-keeping-it-all-together" rel="ugc">Toolbar</a>, or from the menu in the Profile screen (Users > Your Profile) if the Toolbar is invisible.
</li>
<li>
Translate your posts and pages
To create a translation post, go to the editor screen for the original post and find the Language box. Bogo does only make a copy of the post; translating the copied post is your task.
</li>
<li>
Add language switcher widgets
It would be useful for site visitors if you have a language switcher on your site. Bogo provides the Language Switcher widget in the Widgets screen (Appearance > Widgets).
You can also use the <code>[bogo]</code> shortcode to put a language switcher inside a post content. If you want to use this shortcode in your theme’s template files, embed the following code into the template:
<pre><code><?php echo do_shortcode( '[bogo]' ); ?>
</code></pre>
</li>
</ol>
<h4>Privacy notices</h4>
With the default configuration, this plugin, in itself, does not:
<ul>
<li>track users by stealth;</li>
<li>write any user personal data to the database;</li>
<li>send any data to external servers;</li>
<li>use cookies.</li>
</ul>

There are some functionalities needed that should be in the core like change the post language, or linking to another post.

Adds Translate button to the WordPress admin bar to translate any selected text. 
Adds Translate buttons to BuddyPress and bbPress messages.
Translate translates selected text to current locale: where user is logged in, this is the user’s preferred language.
Perfect for a multilingual Buddypress site, this tool allows your users to translate messages to their own language.
Other tools translate the whole site but a polyglots and language learners may not want this, for learning it is best to see the original, and translate only where necessary. 
Or the whole site may be already translated to your preferred language but you are getting messages from other users (or from some untranslated plugin) and you want to translate those.
Currently uses Google Translate.
