Good Day!
I am the Web Development Manager for my company/team. My team hates WPML and I am not familiar with many other options.
The main issues that we have with it is its just buggy and annoying to use. We do not require automatic translation (Which seems to be the root cause of most bugs). Just the ability to toggle between two languages easily and enter content in separate locations than the other languages.
Anyone have a good one they like?
Thanks!

I get you on the buggy part, but realistically any plugin of this scope (multi-currency, multi-language) will probably have some hickups here and there.
Some other options I know of but have not used personally is Translatepress, Polylang, Loco.
I just started using TranslatePress after WPML was causing issues on our site due to incompatibility with other plugins. It’s pretty nice, but you need to pay for more than 1 translated language and it’s a bit weird translating in the WP Customizer IMO, but it seems to be working very well.
You probably need a WP plugin that doesn’t break any theme, aka proxy based.
The best proxy based plugin is our plugin: ConveyThis. It is affordable, quick and fast.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Oh, here is the link: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/conveythis-translate/])
Super weird recommendations here but the only option you have is Polylang. Polylang admin is more cohesive than WPML one and it works nicely with ACF and so on. Best combination is to use Polylang for languages and Loco Translate to translate strings. Keeping string translations in database is stupid and resource waste. WordPress itself uses mo an po files. And that way you can keep them under version control(git) also with rest of your theme files.
For multi region solutions i use WP multisites where each site is country and inside each country you have languages.
