Muito Bom
I highly recommend this plugin
Simple and concise setting screen
First of all, it is compatible with Locotranslate and allows you to easily and concisely change the original translation in the settings screen.
As of 202502, there were still some parts that were not compatible. Plugin name and plugin description part. It looks like the author will respond soon.
Fast operation
Compared to other support plugins, it is much faster to use.Maybe you feel that the developer’s code is always geared towards speed
Value user suggestions
Other users have complained about various things, but so far I’m satisfied. Therefore, we recommend that you check it out for yourself.
The support for this product is very frustrating. Moreover, asking for a refund is very difficult.
An excellent plugin with technical support requests for WordPress. The free version has quite a lot of functionality. Thank you very much to the developers!
