  • Excellent Support and Commitment

    We had a very specific setup involving Oxygen Builder and XLIFF import functionality. Although our requirements were quite complex, the support team — especially Naveen — invested a lot of time and effort to analyze our website and work on compatibility improvements. Communication was always responsive, professional, and solution-oriented. Even when challenges arose, they stayed committed and worked hard to find a solution. While our internal timeline ultimately required us to move in a different direction, we truly appreciated the dedication and technical effort put into supporting our use case. If you are looking for a team that genuinely cares about their customers and continuously improves their product, this plugin is definitely worth considering.

  • Does not work for me

    Unfortunately, I bought the Pro version. Could not activate the plugin properly as I did not have the rights to enter the license key (as admin???). For entering the license key they asked me to give them backend access to my site. This is not trustworthy for me.

  • 5 star support!

    I had a template specific serious shop front translation issue which seemed irreparable. Guys from plugin support were consistent, made lots of effort and after all fixed the issue. I am simply very happy :)

  • A wonderful plugin.

    More convenient and intuitive than similar plugins. It does have some drawbacks: it doesn't translate some plugins and forms, but I think this will be fixed soon, as bugs are quickly fixed. I would recommend the developers add OpenAI so that you can add your own key from OpenAI and have everything translated automatically via a neural network. Thank you.

  • customer service

    Had an issue with a non-responsive customer service. Apparently I emailed during a holiday which led to a delayed response. Plugin is good! - I am still trying to figure out all options and license is a a bit tricky - glitching but it is being addressed now and expected to get resolved.

  • Amazing Plugin, Stellar support

    The support of the developers is simply stellar... The plugin by itself is amazing but I noticed that it didn't work with custom post types. However, the support patiently and quickly replied to my questions and provided me with a code to support them. Search the support forum for it... But maybe you won't need it as they plan to integrate support for CPTs in the near future... Amazing translation plugin, easy to use. Love it.
