The plugin lacks many options that competitors have:
No option to enable/disable language flags.
No ability to enable/disable language labels.
There is no possibility to set the layout of language icons themselves. They only appear as a vertical list. This is inconvenient for menus. You can’t put them in a row. I had to rewrite the plugin code.
There is no possibility to enable/disable detection of the user’s browser language, so that the pages would be displayed in the required language for the person.

My main goal was to find a multi-language plugin that supports REST API using some easy, expected methods to pull the multi-language content. After trying a few language plugins, I realized not many supported REST API, or you needed to pay for it… when I tried Bogo, it was simple and intuitive, no fuss. Getting the language was also super easy through REST API… you can pass in a lang parameter (i.e. [URL]/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?lang=zh OR [URL]/zh/wp-json/wp/v2/posts … ), this is the expected way to get the language you expect…

Bogoで日本語と英語のページを固定ページで作成して運用してましたが、ある日突然日本語ページが”Not found”と”No post”の文字が出てエラーになりました。
ちなみに英語のページは見れます。
色々調べましたが、Bogoプラグインを消したらそのサイトを見れるようになったのでまず間違いなさそうです。どうすればエラーが無くなるでしょうか？
