I use it for my blog site named culturalwander.com, and it's really successful. I use approximately 8 different languages. Thanks.

I have been using Polylang for several websites during the last 1 1/2 years. Recently I had a Client that needed the translation of his WooCommerce. I did not read the entire documentation before buying the WooCommerce license for 99€. I discovered only after the purchase that in order to translate the products I needed to duplicate all products and associate one by one to each corresponding product in the original language. This will require a week of work as the catalogue has more than 2000 products. There is no way to leave the products as they are and show them once they have the default language assigned. The support eventually gave me the refund.

Just a small improvement, it will be good to set up a specific field for each language, to be able to add the aria-label attribute, to explain the choice of language at the screen reader level, when navigating with the keyboard . All of this is in relation to digital accessibility.

If you're looking for a plugin that allows you to add your own bespoke translations (and not just rely on an automated Google Translate plugin), then this is the one to reach for. The included menu item to switch languages takes a big worry off my plate.
