Super but...

The language selector is too basic. There are some websites that describe how to customize the selector, but it's quite complicated. Also, you have to repeat this customization after every template update, so it should be possible to change the look of the selector in Bogo's configuration. It's also quite difficult to position the selector in the navigation bar so that it doesn't destroy the whole layout.

The plugin has a poor feature set

By michman31 on July 20, 2024

The plugin lacks many options that competitors have:

  1. No option to enable/disable language flags.
  2. No ability to enable/disable language labels.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Easy to use and works with REST API

By yogibear54 on December 29, 2023

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...

Easy, Simple and works perfect!

Thank you for a great plugin!

突然Not found

By anshin88 on January 11, 2022

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?

doesn't work with woocommerce

Nice plugin, but it doesn't work with woocommerce(

Clean, minimal and does it all

By AlfredG on August 9, 2021

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.

Plugin author doesn't answer to questions/bad support

By snippet24 on January 15, 2021

Hope this changes in the future, because this plugin is the best approach for Wordpress trasnlations/localization.

Plugin seems not compatible with Elementor...

By alainmelsens on September 23, 2020

Elementor is a great pagebuilder. It's very pity that this plugin seems not be compatible with Elementor. The language switcher is a static list version with no extra options. Maybe it's made only for standard WordPress websites without more layout extensions...? I miss really more modern layout possibilities.

Fantastic plugin!!!

Easy to use, not sure why the last guy wrote a bad review. I use Site Origin Page Builder and it works fine with Bogo.
