  • Great gadget

    This plugin provides a small way to solve multilingual websites, specify different language tags on different pages or articles, and it can also work normally on WordPress 6.1.1

  • Still perfect (juli 2018)

    Although the plugin has not been updated for two years, I gave it a try. It is exactly what I needed to get the Google Charts displaying the right thousands separator on a website with pages in either Dutch or English 12.000,00 in Europe 12,000.00 in English notation The plugin changed the tag <html lang="en-US"> which is something that not can be done by adding extra meta tags in the header section.

  • Great plugin

    Really great plugin. Have my blog with recipes for my and nearby countries. This plugin is just the one I needed to support foreign language nested into my whole blog in my local language. https://vegcook.net/ Also I wrote my own theme detecting post language and displaying flags depending on a post language (please see flags before the titles on main front page). All my recommendations!

  • Does just what it says

    This plugin does a great job when all you want is to have a page in a different language. Since it changes the WordPress locale, it affects the HTML language attributes, the language attributes, generated by SEO/OpenGraph/sharing plugins, etc. which is great. I was just researching the proper action hook to use to switch the locale per post or page, when I found out it has been already done and packaged in plugin. It saved me an hour or two developing my own solution.
