WPML 4.6.8 delivers improvements to your translation workflow. You can now send forms for automatic translation from the Translation Management Dashboard, easily review content translated into hidden languages, and more.
This feature also extends to other content that isn’t a post type, such as field groups, field labels, titles, and choice labels from Advanced Custom Fields (ACF).
This allows us to work with plugin authors on even easier workflows for translating other types of custom content. Next on our list and coming very soon to WPML is the easy translation of sliders.
Automatically translate forms and string packages from Translation Management
Simplified Review Process for Hidden Languages
Working with hidden languages allows you to prepare and review translations for your content before making them available on the front-end.
Previously, you needed to enable an option that allowed users to review translations for hidden languages. WPML 4.6.8 removes the need for you to configure these additional user profile settings.
Now, your site admins, Translation Managers, and users added as a Translator can review translations for hidden languages right away.
Native WordPress Editor for Specific Translations
A consistent translation workflow makes it easier to manage your multilingual WordPress website and reduces the risk of overwriting or losing translations. But, it can be hard to remember how you created and translated different types of content, especially on large sites.
To help you maintain translation consistency, WPML 4.6.8 defaults to the native WordPress editor for certain translation types. This includes imported translations and pages linked using the Connect with translations feature.
If you use professional translation services to translate your site’s content, clicking to edit the translations will open the Classic Translation Editor.
By default, when you move your site to a new URL, WPML automatically restricts adding or editing translations on the old URL. The newly introduced option allows you to use the Advanced Translation Editor and automatic translation features on both the new and old site URLs.
The migration wizard lets you mark your original site as an independent copy
This version of WPML additionally fixes issues related to:
An incorrect number of translation jobs displaying as in progress when all translations have actually been completed
The Preview not showing unsaved changes to a post or page
As with all versions, we are releasing WPML 4.6.8 out in batches. If you want to update to it before it reaches your site, you can go to Plugins → Add New and click the Commercial tab. Then, hit the Check for updates button.
