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 0.3.4 – 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.

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.
