Should have posted earlier about 0.9.1 which is a rather nice version with some nice improvements. But we have waited for this extremely nice animation, made on Fiverr by an amazing animator, that happens to be related by blood to the team here 🙂

We have also created a nice Widget Gallery page, just go and see!

Other changes include:

  • Added some help inside the Admin interface for very common questions (keys – no, you don’t need keys by default)
  • Allow jQueryUI version to be overriden, resolving many conflicts (old themes, all sort of components with unsorted versions of jQuery and jQueryUI)
  • A fix when some bad plugins insert .css in an inappropriate way (this disabled the ability to see which languages were selecred)
  • Added the transposh_echo function – see our development site for documentation and usage
  • Fixes for widgets, easier inclusion with shortcodes, old dropbox fixes, ids removed
  • Adding touch punch to admin, allowing language selection on touch devices
  • Fixes for minor issues discovered since 0.9.0

Version 0.9.0 – Ready, settings, go!

by 9 Comments

On the 12/12/12 (what a lovely date) at 20:12 (an appropriate time). We have released version 0.9.0 of our plugin. This version included a major rewrite of our settings and administration page. Moving from the single very long page with oh so many options to a slick tabbed interface.
This version is not only cosmetic but it also included two major features enabled by the settings new advanced tab:
1. Inclusion of debugging support: Now we will be able to give you better support using the plugin ability to create logs, and allow remote debugging.
2. Advanced parsing rules: This feature allows you to change the way texts are being broken for translation on your site. It allows a much finer granulation and fitting the engine to your specific use case.

However – be warned, those features, although well tested are marked advanced and experimental. Use them only if you understand what you are doing.

There are so many other features and bug fixes included, that many of them deserve their own post, but for now, lets go over the change log:
* A new language selection widget based on select2 (Very nice select box with flags)
* Added ctrl keys for quick navigation of previous/next blocks (Improves speed of working with the interface)
* A new option that allows to reset the configuration file to the recommanded defaults
* Css fixes for twenty twelve theme
* Avoid loading the subwidgets in the admin pages
* Removed distinction between editable and viewable languages, now a language can only be active or disabled
* Updating jQueriUI to 1.9.2 (jQuery should now be 1.6+)
* Fixes the z-index for the old style dropdown (patch by chemaz)
* Fixes the bug with the coupling of Chinese simple and traditional
* Fix bug preventing upgrade from very old versions
* Suppress notices when widgets are created directly with our function
* Avoid rewriting urls in the default language, mainly effected canonicals
* Our script is needed when the widget allows setting of default language
* Finally solved the problem with MSN translate and CR/LF

In the days following the initial release, three bugs have been uncovered and fixed, if something simple is not working, make sure to refresh your files.

Enjoy this version!

Version 0.8.5 – We support Lao too

by Leave a Comment

A frog and a mouse welcome Laos

Well, Google just announced on their translate blog that they will support Lao, the official language of Laos, so we have added the code required and did a quick release with support to this language, which is also supported by One Hour Translation.

The version is already out for a few days but the real problem with getting this post live was finding a picture. We are not quite sure it is the most appropriate picture, but at least it rhymes.

Enjoy this new version.

Version 0.8.4 – Professional human translation is here

Professional work
Professional work
Less professional work
Less professional work

We are very proud to present this release of our plugin.

This version, in addition to normal enhancements and bug fixes, finally integrates professional human translation with a basic integration with OneHourTranslation.com professional translation service.


The way this works is the following:

  • Go to OneHourTranslaion.com and create an account
  • Use the account details generated and insert them to Transposh’s settings page
  • When using the translation interface, an admin (and only an admin) will see a “One Hour Translation queue” button
  • Pressing this button will add the phrase to a queue, another click will dequeue the item
  • 10 minutes after the last phrase was added a translation project will be generated on one hour translation
  • Give it an hour (or less from our experience) and the translations will appear on your site
  • Everybody is happy and you actually support the Transposh project (Yay!)

This is rather new, so if Murphy strikes, just contact us and we’ll do whatever we can to make things work.

Now, for the rest of this release:

  • Fixed flag of Swahili to Tanzania as noted by Ed Jordan
  • Lots of fixes to backup service
  • Fix for a parser bug when having translate in default language following a select element
  • Fixed XSS reported by Infern0_ (big thanks!)
  • For programmers: Added a global function to return the current language “transposh_get_current_language()“
  • Seems like Lybia has a new flag too 😉
  • Fixed widget IDs containing a backslash so that we’ll pass w3c validation
  • Updated jQueryUI to 1.8.23 to avoid conflict with jQuery 1.8 used by some themes
  • Portuguese (Brazil) translation by Amilton Junior

Our operators are waiting for your feedback, if you get a busy signal, try contacting us again!

P.S. This is the very first version to have passed 1,000 daily downloads, we are humbled.
