 * Events Manager has never fully worked with WPML, and it only works with Polylang
   using some workarounds. And “The Events Calendar” is just as bad. Why?
 * I used to pay for Events Manager Pro, but its language support is getting worse
   instead of better ([https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/event-search-attributes/?_highlight=language#general-parameters](https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/event-search-attributes/?_highlight=language#general-parameters)
   is nonsense)… a simple filter for the events list/grid would be a huge help already,
   and Polylang and other plugins provide plenty of page attributes you could use.
 * Most of us don’t even need multiple locations… we can build custom language pages
   and sort out most redirects ourselves. But basic language support would be a 
   huge help.
 * Thanks for listening (I hope)!
