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.
