"Scamming people with automatic translation"
What do you like best about WPML?

All in all, WPML worked well for me for a few years. It does the job. There were some major technical problems all the time like media files duplicating and having unexplainable translation jobs in weird places but everything started going seriously bad when the automatic translation was introduced.

What do you dislike about WPML?

Automatic translation worked like a wonder when I first used it. The problem is that WPML is trying to scam its customers by overcharging them. The bills for the first month were fine. I paid 17 dollar and another 72 dollars. When the next month, it showed 72 dollars with 0 credits used, I got suspicious but didn't think anything bad. I set the limit from 500.000 to 100.000 credits, which would mean I am limited to consuming 17 dollars of credits. The system didn't respect my limit but went to 110.000 credits still showing 72 dollar but not allowing me to use any credits anymore. When I talked to support, they tried to blame me for spending 10.000 credits too many and told me, they will charge me for 500.000 credits at the beginning of next month. I tried to explain how their flawed system is overcharging me and they told me, their tech team will investigate. Now is the 1st of December, I used 0 credits, and my account shows I am due to pay 72 dollars at the beginning of January. Upon that, I immediately canceled my subscription to automatic translation but got an invoice of over 72 dollars for last month. Their tech team didn't investigate anything. I got scammed by WPML and wish there would be some way to change to another translation software. I am afraid there isn't. Think twice, if you are considering to use WPML, especially their automatic translation.

What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?

Translating my website. It works most of the time. Except for when it doesn't and duplicates all the media files, creates really confusing translation queues or steals your money.

"Best plugin for wordpress website translation"
What do you like best about WPML?

It is easy to install, use and has a lot of documentation online and is compatible with most commercial wordpress themes including woocomerce. It has a reasonable price for what it offers. They have an economic mode for simple blogs making it accessible to all the public

What do you dislike about WPML?

Previously they offered a lifetime subscription without having to pay annual fees in exchange for updates. That option has disappeared.

What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?

I to convert websites that are in a single language into websites that are in several languages, reaching more public than before.

Compatibility with themes and plugins is phenomenal. This has become the industry standard and it also works very well!

I don't like how we have to install so many programs in order for it to work. I will also easily slow down your admin panel.

"Great tool for translation, but not for everyone"
What do you like best about WPML?

What I like best from WPML is the big amount of options and flexibility of tools in order to manage languages inside a website. You can go really deep in having control over translations and multilanguage control.

What do you dislike about WPML?

Maybe the most disappointing thing about WPML is how difficult it can become using some options. It can really become a headache if you can't control some options. Support is sometimes not as good or precise as you may need regarding the complexity of some features.

What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?

I usually work with wordpress multilingual websites that require a tool to manage different languages and WPML is the most advanced and complete plugin available to solve any kind of issue related to multi language web sites.

"Very popular but heavy"
What do you like best about WPML?

I think the module is good and very popular but it is heavy for the users. The good thing is that there is a lot of documentation and support. The 1 for 1 translation feature is also very useful.

What do you dislike about WPML?

This module is often in conflict with other modules. There is also a performance issue which prevents from getting a good grade on GT Metrix and Page Speed. The cost of licensing is also often an irritant

What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?
