I raised serious concerns and a refund request only two days after purchasing Polylang Pro. Despite this early feedback and the fact that the plugin was tested exclusively in a staging environment, the refund was refused and the discussion was immediately pushed toward internal terms and conditions. This set the tone for the entire experience. Polylang Pro is marketed as a professional multilingual solution with DeepL integration. Based on the product presentation, it creates the expectation of a relatively smooth, integrated, and efficient workflow for automatic translations. In practice, however, the setup is far more complex and fragmented than implied. The translation workflow requires multiple additional steps, external configurations, and ongoing third-party costs that are not made sufficiently clear before purchase. Under more serious load, especially when translating larger amounts of text or content containing more complex structures or code, the DeepL connection frequently fails. Translation processes interrupt, errors appear, and the workflow breaks down entirely. This makes the promised automation unreliable in real-world scenarios where volume and consistency actually matter. The gap between the marketing message and real-world usability is significant. What is presented as a professional, streamlined solution feels instead like a technically heavy system that demands substantial time investment just to reach a basic, workable state. Even more disappointing than the product itself was the support experience. When I raised legitimate concerns shortly after purchase, the responses were dismissive and heavily policy-driven. Instead of engaging with the substance of the issues, the communication relied on hiding behind general terms and conditions, avoiding any real responsibility for the mismatch between expectations and reality. The overall tone and behavior from support were off-putting and frustrating. For a plugin positioned toward professional users, this lack of transparency, flexibility, and accountability is unacceptable. This experience left me with the clear impression that once payment is made, customer feedback about real-world usability, stability, and reliability is not taken seriously. This is not about the price. The amount itself is irrelevant. What matters is trust, honest presentation, and professional handling of early customer concerns. Based on the refusal to issue a refund shortly after purchase, the instability of the DeepL integration under load, the misleading expectations created by the product presentation, and the disappointing support interaction, I will not use Polylang Pro again and I do not recommend it to anyone.
