Version 0.3.7 – Feed that feed
Posted by ofer in Release announcements on December 6, 2009
This new version puts emphasis on correcting the RSS XML feeds. Settings such as GUID and language are now being correctly set. I would like to thank Kevin Hart for his help and support in nailing those issues. Other improvements are made to the parser which will remove some redundant phrases from being translated (such as [....]).
As always – see the full change log.
Version 0.3.6 – Search me if you can
Posted by ofer in Release announcements on December 2, 2009
This version adds a very nice feature, which we hope positions it even better when compared to alternative solutions. This is the ability to perform a search in the translated language on the translated pages. So now your translated content becomes much more available to your users.
We also dramatically improved the RSS feeds support in this version, and now links in the RSS properly link to the correct language. We would like to thank datapharmer for his help with this. We would also like to note, for all the users requesting google sitemaps integration, that RSS feeds are a good source for sitemaps on the google site, so you can add your new rss feeds and comment feeds and google might have better visibility.
Last small fix, we now also translate submit type buttons (good for the search form).
We hope you’ll enjoy this version – if anything is broken, just comment here, and please – use a mail we can reply to, otherwise we are unable to get back to you, which is a shame…
Ideas, bugs, praises are always welcomed.
Version 0.3.5 – Some major changes
Posted by ofer in Release announcements on November 26, 2009
This version is the one of the largest changes we have made so far. We would like to detail some of the changes here:
New features in this release
- Admin side automatic translation of posts upon publishing – this feature allows posts to be translated as quickly as possible, so the feeds and search engines will see translated versions
- New methods of posting to the sites – will allow more versatility in cases problems occurred in the past
There are some more bug fixes (read the change log) but more importantly this version is a major overhaul of the underlying architecture (more than 3,000 lines of diff), with more emphasis on software engineering schemes. For example, all code is now contained in objects (which will hopefully reduce namespace issues with other plugins) and options have been moved to a single location. We expect some rough edges here, so just inform us and it will be fixed asap.
Version 0.3.4 – Fixes and Interview
Posted by ofer in Release announcements on November 5, 2009
This version fixes some bugs, mainly the infamous NexGEN gallery bug (which might happen for other plugins using a similar method). Some performance tweaks are included, mainly for people using MSN translator (Did you notice they increased the number of languages they support?)
A new build system that we deployed in the development environment actually means that it will be easier to release the upcoming versions, and that they’ll be kept in sync with the source code repository.
If you want to know more about who we are and our future directions, Marco from Technology inside blog have conducted an interview with our own Ofer Wald. Nice piece of reading for anyone who’s interested and we would like to thank Marco for his patience and hard work.
Translation can drive traffic to your site
Posted by ofer in General Messages on September 19, 2009
We have received information (and a nice picture) from Mike Jan from iPhone bashing site.
Bash.ch traffic jump after transposh filter install
Transposh aims to make your site much more accessible to others, which naturally includes search engines. This in turn allows more users to get to your site and find your content (even if originally it was written in a language they can’t understand). This site serves as a perfect example, originally written in German, when its great content became translated (and therefor much more available) its reach skyrocketed 
We welcome others to share their own stories on comments to this post, have you experienced similar success? Nothing at all? What do you feel is still missing? We’re always happy to hear.
Version 0.3.3 – 9 New languages
Posted by ofer in Release announcements on September 6, 2009
We would like to thank Google for adding support for 9 new languages: Afrikaans, Belarusian, Icelandic, Irish, Macedonian, Malay, Swahili, Welsh and Yiddish. We have added support to our wordpress plugin which took a little while because of the following critical issue. What flag should we use for Yiddish? First thing we would like to say is that flags are changeable, just follow the FAQ and if you don’t like our choices, no one is forcing you.
After a short debate we have decided to give Yiddish the european union flag because of two reasons, one – the language originated there, not in any specific country and second – the flag does not stand for any specific country in a similar way to the language which can not be connected to any country. If anyone has better suggestions, we are open to hear them.
This release also follows a few weeks of silence, in which we have been quietly thinking and discussing new features, which we hope we’ll be able to release soon, any help and feedback will not only be appreciated but will also help us deliver a better product.
Version 0.3.2 – Some small fixes
Posted by ofer in Release announcements on August 3, 2009
This version comes to fix some small issues that gathered while we are working on some more major functionality. The main fix is the one that allows the use of a main static page which caused issues in the past. A smaller issue regarding some blank pages was also fixed. If you encounter white pages, just contact us or comment here and we’ll make it work (no php4 please…).
We would like to thank Anthony for his help in reporting and debugging those issues as well as for his help with this site translation to Russian.
Version 0.3.1 – Faster storing
Posted by ofer in Release announcements on July 27, 2009
This version greatly improves speed and resource consumption when auto-translation is being made. It does so by aggregating multiple translations together and reducing the number of posts made to the server. This version has the usual mix of bug fixes and minor enhancements, enjoy!
Version 0.3.0 – Bing (MSN) translator
Posted by ofer in Release announcements on July 23, 2009
We are proud to add support in this release to a second translation engine. This one is the Bing (MSN) translator by Microsoft.
The results it gives are quite different from the ones you get from Google translate, sometimes better, sometimes worse.
A minor setback for default activation is that this service is still in beta and an invite is required, We have a very small amount we can share so if you want one, just comment on this post, first comes – first served basis.
Also – we haven’t activated Bing translator as a default automatic translator yet and we would like to hear your opinions on that. If enough people request this feature, we will put more effort into enable this in the coming release. In the meanwhile – you are welcomed to test this feature on this site, just start translating and use the Bing suggest button.
Version 0.2.9 – Bug fixes
Posted by ofer in Release announcements on July 21, 2009
The last few days were used to fix some bugs reported by our users. Full credits are given in the change log. We would like to thank everyone who is reporting bugs to us because it helps us improve this software for everyone.
We also enjoy supporting you and are trying to leave no stones unturned in order to help you, feel free to contact us, and if we haven’t answered within a reasonable period – just contact us again!
We were also asked about donations (twice this week). So first – at this point we don’t accept any money donations (although we appreciate your intentions) but we do accept a few other forms of donations. Donate us time by sending bug reports (and even better, patches ) , spread the knowledge about this plugin by writing something in your blogs or favorite forums, vote for this plugin in the wordpress plugin directory so more people will use it and finally – you can always help us by checking and translating this site to your mother-tongues.
We hope you’ll enjoy this version as much as we do
