I am unsure it works correctly with TranslatePress. My main language is Georgian and there is translation into English. The plugin does not allow me to have a Google Merchant feed in English although it has it for all other languages the theme supports natively. Language switcher addon changes the language of my admin profile, but the fields does not switch to en_US. Would have bought the premium without thinking if not this issue. Overall good
