We Interview one of the founders of Cozmoslabs who are authors of the popular multilingual plugin TranslatePress

Adrian is the co-founder of Cozmoslabs, a company focused on building premium WordPress plugins since 2011. Their products are used on over 120,000 websites.

Lately he's mostly focused on marketing and business development, however nothing feels better to him than actually coding a feature.

Their most popular plugins Profile Builder and Paid Member Subscriptions are targeted on membership sites, offering things ranging from building user profiles & advanced front-end forms to creating subscription plans, restricting content and accepting payments.

Their newest product, TranslatePress is a WordPress multilingual plugin that lets you translate your entire site directly from the front-end using a really intuitive interface. It works out of the box with any theme or plugin, including WooCommerce and site builders.

Sure, we can offer a free TranslatePress business license and a Paid Member Subscriptions Pro license to the person who leaves a comment indicating the missing feature he would love to see developed next in these plugins.

If this is too much, I'm open to ideas on your side as well :)
