<p>Randomize simply displays randomized text. You’re able to deposit text passages, quotes and HTML code in the administration backend by categories. You can use the widget, a shortcode or template tag to show up randomized content on your site.</p>
<h4>Ready for translation</h4>
<p>Since version 1.4 was released Randomize is ready for translation. Feel free to add or support your language on <a href="https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/randomize" rel="nofollow ugc">translate.wordpress.org</a>!</p>
<h4>Development Notice</h4>
<p>The original author has discontinued the development, so that I decided to continue the free distribution under the new name “Randomize”. It’s based on “Random Text” by pantsonhead.</p>


Randomize

The plugin does what it should and the bulk actions and categories are super solved! It would still be nice if you could output each widget with an indvidual class or format such as Div, H1, H2.

Works well

Store and display randomized/rotated content by categories in sidebar widgets, pages, posts or templates.

<p>XV Random Quotes helps you collect and display random quotes everywhere on your blog. The plugin is so flexible that it can be used to display random words of all sorts: taglines, “leave a response” messages, footer or header sections etc.</p>
<p>It’s based on the work of previous (abandoned) plugins: Stray Quotes Z, which was based on top of Stray Quotes, which was based on top of ZombieRobot’s Random Quotes.</p>
<p>The main features:</p>
<ul>
<li>As many <strong>widgets</strong> as you need, each with its individual set of options, to display one or more quotes from all or some categories, randomly or in sequence, with or without AJAX, etc.</li>
<li><strong>AJAX</strong> automation so a reader of the blog can get another quote without reloading the page.</li>
<li>Optional <strong>automatic rotation</strong> of the quotes within a given interval of seconds.</li>
<li><strong>Multiuser</strong> ready (contributors to the blog can access a limited version of the plugin, adding and managing their own sets of quotes)</li>
<li><strong>Shortcodes</strong> that can be used to add one quote or series of quotes to your posts and pages. The shortcodes come with a set of individual options as well and, if needed, they can be extended to apply everywhere on the blog, allowing random words for the tagline, the category names, the post titles etc.</li>
<li><strong>Template tags</strong> to add one or more quotes — random words in general — directly to the template pages. Template tags support many variables as well.</li>
<li>A <strong>Settings page</strong> to customize the appearance of the quotes with little or no knowledge of HTML.</li>
<li>A easy to use <strong>management page</strong> where even thousands of quotes can be handled easily, with bulk actions to change category, delete quotes and toggle visibility of many quotes at a time.</li>
<li>A <strong>bookmarklet</strong> to create quotes on the fly as you browse the web and find text worth quoting.</li>
<li>A <strong>help page</strong> where everything you need to know is explained.</li>
</ul>

<p>Actually, these translations are not updated to the latest version.<br />
I am looking for new localizers, all languages welcome!</p>
