It’s literally useless and pointless. If you have to manually copy every page and then translate everything manually, what’s the point? Since you’re doing everything (basically creating one site for each language and having to translate everything manually) just… do it on your own. You don’t need this garbage.

Works well, although with the Woocommerce addon it can get complicating and a bit of a puzzle. But it works and does work for you!

Indispensable if you want to create a multilingual website. It integrates well with other plugins, eliminating unnecessary stress.
