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. Thank you for your review. If you are using multiple languages in one WP installation the plugin uses cookies to keep track of the last language switched to set the global language and core translations accordingly. The plugin as an option to disable Cookies if you are not interested or if it doesn’t perform well. In the second case please feed me back with reproducible issue I can fix for you. Meanwhile I recommend to have one installation per language use the plugin to bridge each installations and keep the plugin cookies disabled. I hope this can help.
