Force Update Translations

Just suggest translations to your language on translate.wordpress.org but not always need to wait for approval.

One-click fix!

Very useful

When I translate plugins or themes I need to see partial translations to check I'm doing right. Exporting .mo files was boring me... just when I found this plugin!
Very useful. Thank you for developing it.

Essential for WP translators!

Bad description of the features in the readme: no possibility to import translations for themes.
Bad support.

False advertisement

I am so glad to find this plugin. We have international users for our plugin that help out by submitting translations. The problem is, there is no way for them to use the translations until it goes through a formal approval process.

This is a wonderful solution, we can point our users to this plugin so they can use the translations right away.

Thanks so much for making this!

Amazing

Oh, this is an awesome plugin so I fully localize this plugin's UI and page for zh_TW.

Awesome plugin

Polylang

Works great for the translations of a WordPress website

Great plugin for i18n


If i need multilingual solution, only polylang


Good plugin


Faster and lighter than WPML, easy to configure and manage.


Fast, easy to use, reliable

works fine!


A few quirks here and there, but handles this complicated task very, very well, and with a good interface. 🫶


Simply marvelous


If you are using FSE then you cant translate templates and this makes the polylang useless


Not working with basic tool - native wordpress editor


The only issue is you cannot pair existing translations - or if there this feature already exists, I haven't found it. Otherwise it works well.


I am very happy with free version


Thanks to developers of this excellent work.Many filter hooks and functions to use for developers.Using built-in core tables on database is smart.


Great Work


It works very well, even with block themes, as long as it's used together with Site Editor Classic Features.



Thank you!


Works great, thank you!


Plugin cumpri com tudo que promete, simples de ser instalado e tudo que tiver duvida o forum resolve os problemas.



Vale muito a pena a versão free dele da para desenvolver muito projeto com ele.


Excelente


It does what it needs to do and is free!


Works great

Nice and easy!


This plugin works great for creating multilingual websites. I have been using it on a couple of my websites and it does its work perfectly.


Works like a charm!

Go multilingual in a simple and efficient way. Keep writing posts and taxonomy terms as usual while defining their languages all at once.
