Cons
Translations are not always accurate
The plugin uses Google’s automatic translations. Translations appear to be accurate for shorter sentences and words but not so much for longer sentences and paragraphs

I used the plugin for translating my website. I found that shorter sentences and phrases get translated well, but the longer ones don’t. It doesn’t do a good job of translating paragraphs.
Works exactly as it should. The support team is also quick and helpful.
