Google Website Translator by Prisna.net deactivated, but left text in header

I deleted it because some people couldn’t use it on their desktop and the mobile version was cutting off many of the languages that appeared under the pull-down because the 3 or so columns of languages extended to wide across the screen when not in landscape position.

Do you still recommend only wpml for a translator? Is the free version of MultilingualPress ok to use? Any free recommendations?

Oh, thanks for the free option. I will report back if it tests well.

The WPML multilangua CMS plugin I purchased broke my site and I had to use a backup of my site ti get it up again. I wonder if there is anything I can do to avoid whatever issue it caused. The polylang plugin seemed to only allow one language translation and the MultilingualPress wanted to created multiple versions of posts rather than just translate the site to a selected language so those didn’t serve my needs. I just want a pulldown that gives every language as an option and which can appear in the header. the prisna.net google translator was ok except that it didnt work for my clients older desktop computer and for all mobile phone viewers, it got cut off. The columns of languages were to wide for the screen. Maybe there is a fix for that. But since i paid for WPML, I’d like to try fixing that instead. The site currently has the prisna.net plugin and I won’t try installing the WPML again since I restored the site until I back up the database manually so I dont lose todays work. But I have no reason to think it wont break the site again since nothing will be different. ALso, there will still likely be the issue with the prisna.net leaving text in the header area after I deactivate or delete it with all related files. So that’s two issues I need help with. Let me know if should recreate a login. I haven’t heard back about the first issue yet (text left by Prisna.net in header).. As far as plugins, after restore I see the WPML plugin is there but deactivated. It was supposed to restore to a time before i installed it. SO I guess it doesnt break the site when deactivated-assuming all the files are there. I only have the prisna.net lugin and the events calendar plugin installed. the theme, wordpress and pugins are all up-to-date. So I’m not sure what I should change before activating the WPML again. I should probably delete it and reinstall it in case files are missing after restore. If you have any suggestions befiore I activate it, let me know. Maybe prisna.net leaves code behind that disrupts the WPML plugin after it’s deleted. Other than those plugins, I only have a godaddy plugin and the ones that came with the wordpress install and enfold. I believe I used the construction demo from enfold on the demo I built before replicating it in another godaddy managed wordpress hosting account.
