Works like a charm
by Laurent Holdrinet·5 days ago
I gave up the chaotic WPML, MSLS is the solution to deal with multilingual site.
IMHO Most logical option for translating WordPress

Simple yet universally functional. Every language is separate sub-site, so you can have them identical or as different as necessary and plugin provides means to tie it all together.
Have been using it for years and never disappointed.
5 stars are not enough!

At first I had some trouble with the plugin. But now – I wouldn’t want to be without it!
I really like the plugin’s functional simplicity!
Thanks, Dennis, for this wonderful plugin!
Great plugin and awesome support!

I think we still need to wait some time before WordPress core implementation for Multilingual sites. See WordPress roadmap
I’ve tried WPML in the past but did not really like it. Haven’t tried Polylang plugin yet
In my opinion the best setup for multilingual sites is a wordpress multisite setup.
Then this great Multisite Language Switcher plugin is the way to go.
Simply loving it and also top support deserves a 5 * star rating
please keep up the good work you’re doing!
greetings
