Falang multilanguage for WordPress

After spending many hours searching for a solution for a multi-lingual site, I came across Falang.
It exactly solves my use-case. I don't need translation services and don't want to pay for an expensive premium plugin that includes 'translation credits' .. and it actually works!
I use Divi so installed Falang for Divi Lite.. also seamless and totally useful

I'm so happy I'm going to buy the (modestly priced) premium version anyway even though I don't need to for my functionality (which is rare for me!)

I did spend a few hours getting setup with my second language which is NZ Māori, which is not in Falang's or Wordpress' predefined languages. See my post in the Support section on this.

Absolutely Brilliant!

Falang is the easiest multilanguage plugin you can use to translate a WordPress site.
