Experiences
The plugin is quite impressive, I especially like the workflow. However, I did have a small issue wherein if I change something in the default text, the newly translated text goes away.
I found TranslatePress to be the most cost-effective option. It is also fast and easy to use. I had a small issue with the displayed titled, but the support team helped me solve it quickly.
