Version 0.5.4 – Quick Fixes
Posted by ofer in General Messages on June 14, 2010
A few days ago we silently released 0.5.4 which fixed a few bugs discovered in 0.5.3, mainly with the ajax and some edge cases with url translation. If the previous version works ok for you, there’s really no need to upgrade.
However – take the note, bugs opened on our trac (trac.transposh.org) are the ones that we are able to resolve fastest.
Enjoy this version and let us know what you think.
Version 0.5.3 – Ability to translate URLs
Posted by ofer in General Messages on June 1, 2010
This new version allows urls on the site to be translated to given target languages. We would like to thank Hans from Cosmedia (a website about cosmetic surgery and treatments) for sponsoring the work done on this feature, as well as sponsoring a patch to support the custom permalinks plugin. If you are missing a feature, create a ticket for us at the development site and we’ll add it to our todo list. If you want to help us, sponsoring a feature development will help us make it happen faster, and the community to get a more complete product.
There are also further improvements included such as the fact that comments made at languages that are different than the default one are marked as such and become translatable at the default language (you need to mark the translate default language option in the settings), better support for wordpress super cache plugin, and a small upgrade in the jQueryUI version used that helps with wordpress 3.0 coming support.
Last item on this notice agenda is that we want you to know that we have a page on our development site where we maintain third party plugins compatibility list (with patches if required). On our wiki plugin support matrix page, as its a wiki, just create a user on the site and feel free to edit and improve this.
Version 0.5.2 – Improved lang attribute support
Posted by ofer in Release announcements on April 21, 2010
This version emerged from a few requests by multilingual blogger (especially bi-linguals). This version allows suggesting the original language for a phrase (other than the default) using the html lang attribute.
The paragraph/phrase marked with a different language than the original would be left intact when the target language equals the language marked, but will be translated in other languages (even in the default language – when such support is enabled).
For example, the following phrase is written in Hebrew and surrounded with a span with lang=he attribute, if you’re reading it in another language, you will be able to read it in that other language (English included).
Hello, in what language are you reading this paragraph?
It is now also possible to use the only_thislanguage class to mark a certain paragraph to appear only to readers in given language. A change in behaviour for this version is that now, the translate default version configuration option will only be used for non default marked paragraphs (and posts, see below regarding theme patches).
A patch would be provided to the default theme (didn’t decide if we’ll wait till version 3 of wordpress) that will enable marking a certain post’s original language, we’ll keep you posted.
Hope you enjoy this version.
Version 0.5.1 – Database improvements
Posted by ofer in Release announcements on April 11, 2010
This new version solves a very old problem with translating phrases longer than 255 characters. This change did not sacrifice speed, but actually enhanced it with a fine tuned index to match. By working on the database code we have also discovered a way to make the plugin perform much faster (mainly when APC caching was not used) where we now group many translation queries to the database into a single query.
A smaller bug with translation textarea tags was also solved thanks to timo.
Like always – looking forward for your feedbacks.
Version 0.5.0 – Back up
Posted by ofer in Release announcements on March 24, 2010
Today we have released v0.5.0 which is a relatively major change to the plugin as it offers two features that were requested by many.
The first one is the inclusion of a backup service inside the plugin. You can choose between either manually backing up, having the backup done for you daily or allowing the backup to happen live. Backup is only done for human translations, and in the live backup mode, the plugin simply sends the new translation to the backup service.
This backup service runs on top of the google appengine infrastructure, so its quite fast and scalable.
The second feature is the mass translate facility, now included in the transposh settings page. You can just hit the “Translate All Now” button and every page and post will be translated for you, slowly but surely. Note that the translation is done on the client side, and not the server side and with sufficient latency so there is no fear of your server abusing the automated translation service.
The next releases towards the 0.6.0 version will focus more on the user (translator) experience and multi-lingual blog wrtiting integrations.
Your ideas are always welcomed, just comment here or go to trac.transposh.org.
Version 0.4.3 – Our wordpress plugin anniversary
Posted by ofer in Release announcements on February 28, 2010
One year and 13,000 downloads later, we are happy to release version 0.4.3.
This version brings in more compatibility with some themes and better parsing of $ and % symbols.
Anyone wants to guess the number of downloads we will have next year?
Hello World, one year later.

How quickly time flies when you are having fun. Today, exactly one year ago we have aired the first version of this site (which actually looked quite the same) to showcase our wordpress plugin. Lots of changes went on since that time (although we hoped it would go faster). But as the site celebrates this one year mark, we can’t but look with some pride at what we achieved and would like to use the opportunity to thank all of our developers, contributors, testers and users for their continued support and appreciation of our product.
Thanks everyone!
Version 0.4.2 – The answer?
Posted by ofer in Release announcements on January 26, 2010
What was the question? Anyone?
Maybe – Does this version support translation from Haitian? Yes
Maybe – Can Bing translate be used to generate auto translate? Yes
Maybe – Did you finish optimizations and reduced the script size to 1.5k when gzipped (with added functionality)? Yes
We hope you’ll enjoy this one as much as we do.
Version 0.4.1 – Faster for your clients
Posted by ofer in Release announcements on January 13, 2010
This new version includes the first part of optimizing the client side experience with transposh. Now, instead of loading libraries that might not be used, the plugin opts to load those upon demand. The first thing you can notice is that google translate api, microsoft translate api and jquery api are only loaded when they are really required. The script used by transposh has also been reduced in size and is now only 3kb of javascript. In the next step of optimization we will take out the edit interface part to a separate file.
Work was also done on optimizing the .css files, with a reduction in the number of inclusions so that under normal widget use there will only be one file used.
If anything breaks for you, on any browser or theme. Just let us know.
Unfortunately, this release won’t include support for jQuery 1.4 as there’s a bug in the jQuery UI tabs which prevents the upgrade at this point, We will probably upgrade once the next version of jQuery UI goes live.
Some insights to the upcoming release
Posted by ofer in General Messages on January 10, 2010
The next version is going to include some meaningful changes on the client side, mainly we have switched to asynchronous loading of our script and on demand loading of other scripts used within (such as jQuery UI, Google Translate API, Microsoft Translate API and others).
The change means that the page loads much faster and it becomes more responsive. Also hangups that were caused by slow loading of the third party scripts (such as the one reported in this bug) will be eliminated.
This release might also include an update to jQuery 1.4 which has a much faster engine, and since it is planed for release on January 14th, we hope to release on the 15th.
The pre-release is already running on this site, so if you encounter any problems in translated pages, please inform us.
