The plugin works very well and support is perfect.
Thank you.
Great Support from Author. It works fine.
This plugin would be just perfect if it had its bugs fixed. It seems to perform some language detection with session cookies that constantly introduces errors, such as all pages being shown as language:English in both the site and the admin panel.
Installed, activated, and turned on the menu switcher on my main nav.
Really too bad, as I could use this plugin’s functionality.
A super simple and useful plugin. Is it possible to add a photo of language flags? Such a visual option would definitely be great.
