Users of the WordPress translation plugin generally appreciate its ease of installation, simple configuration, and ability to translate websites into multiple languages without needing a premium subscription. The plugin's integration with Google Translate allows users to reach non-English speaking audiences effectively, increasing website traffic and engagement. It supports various language options and customization features like changing the shape of icons.
However, some drawbacks include confusing language settings, unnecessary HTML tags affecting page load times, and limited accuracy in translations depending on the source language. The free version lacks advanced features like Neural Machine Translation, which is available only in the paid version, and there's inconsistency in flag representation for languages spoken in multiple countries.
