### 󠀁[Almost perfect for my usecase!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/almost-perfect-for-my-usecase/)󠁿

Dear team, thank you for this awesome plugin! A client of mine has a simple site
where I am using your plugin. It is easy to setup and compatible with Elementor 
Page Builder Plugin. One thing would be awesome to add. If I change the language
to easy language and then I navigate to the next page in my menu, this page is again
in the standard language, so I have to click the language switcher every time I 
navigate to a new page. But nevertheless an awesome plugin. 🙂
