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…
I tried Bogo everal times, the older versions didn’t work for me, or I couldn’t find all the settings.
Now I gave it one more try because I’ve had it with Google translate crappy plugins, and it all works! I’m almost done translating my complete site (a lot of work), but the way Bogo is build it is as solid as a rock.
Menu translation is done by apointing translated menu items, you can let the menu item to a specific language with a check box. Something you realy have to know, it took me some time to find it. That brings me to the following.
A short manual is in place for this plugin. It will realy prevent users to step out and look for another solution. Pitty, becuase it’s a great plugin.
