 * I came very close to throwing my laptop out of the window. It doesn’t seem the
   plugin allows for hyperlinks or even a slight adjustment to a page in the other
   language. You can’t switch pages or posts between languages. Unfortunately, my
   theme seems incompatible with Polylang. Very frustrating.

 * Hi,
 * Really sorry you had a bad experience with our plugin.
 * Did you try opening a support ticket with more details about what you were trying
   to achieve but couldn’t? I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “It doesn’t
   seem the plugin allows for hyperlinks or even a slight adjustment to a page in
   the other language. You can’t switch pages or posts between languages.”
 * Were you looking to create pages with different content and looks for each language?
 * Leaving a negative review is not the best way to get help. Giving the plugin 
   a failing grade should normally be reserved for plugins with weak support, unresolved
   bugs, security issues, or not following WordPress standards. Which is not the
   case for TranslatePress.
 * Happy to work together via our support channel to get to the bottom if this.
 * Best regards,

 * Dear Adi,
 * Thank you for your very considerate email. It was not my intention to insult 
   you, apologies if I did. Also, I’m willing to remove the review if I’m proven
   wrong. But after trying to make the mess on my website okay again for days and
   reaching out to my website advisor, who came up close to empty handed as well,
   I’ve been really frustrated.
 * This is my website:
    [https://www.schrijfkracht.nl/en/](https://www.schrijfkracht.nl/en/)
 * I can’t see any button to switch between the languages. I can therefore only 
   add text via settings > translate press > translate site.
 * And although I’ve translated the texts under the three main buttons (researcher
   with integrity, etc), if I open the English website, I still get the Dutch text.
 * On it are blogs on different topics, some are written in Dutch, others in English.
   So not all content on my website is in both languages.
 * The other issue is that I find it impossible to insert links in the second language.
   For instance the page about me ([https://www.schrijfkracht.nl/over-bureau-schrijfkracht/](https://www.schrijfkracht.nl/over-bureau-schrijfkracht/)).
   The English page has links that should go to English pages on the English site.
 * I hope you can proof me wrong.
 * Thanks,
 * Paulien

 * Dear Paulien,
 * Thank you for your kind words and patience to work with us in solving this. What
   you’re describing shouldn’t happen.
 * Would you be able to open a support ticket on the forums or write us an email
   at [hello[at]translatepress.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/terribly-rigid-plugin/hello@translatepress.com?output_format=md)?(
   whatever suits you best)
 * According to wp.org guidelines we’re not supposed to offer support under the 
   Reviews area.
