More Compatibility, Better Performance and New Features for Translation Management
Translation Management 6.x-1.21 is out with some long awaited bug fixes and improvements.
First, a very big thanks to everyone who reposted issues and contributed patches. Most of this update is due to you!
List of changes in this release
- Add compatibility with the nodecomment module.
- Add check_plain when showing title link after translations. This means the module will correctly encode the title when using non English characters.
- Fix fatal error OHT module. People who want to get translation services from OneHourTranslation can do that without suffering from bugs on the way.
- Fix Arabic flag. Arabic and Argentina are different things ;-)
- Added indexes to the translation tables. This will dramatically speed up page loading and translation update for large sites.
- Fix PHP warning on cron job. Even though these were warnings, they could have hidden other serious problems.
- Added a quote wizard that allows calculating the cost for translation by ICanLocalize.
- Delete relavent job data when deleting nodes. This makes sure that there are no left-overs in the DB when content is deleted.
Quote wizard - 3 clicks for an instant quote
The most frequent question we hear is "how much is translation going to cost?".
The good news is that now it takes just a few clicks to get an answer.
Go to Admin->Translation Management->Translation Dashboard.
Under Translation Services, find ICanLocalize and under that, click on Get Quote.
Next, choose which languages to translate between.
Then, choose which content types to include in the quote.
The summary screen shows you what you've selected and prepares the quote.
When you click on produce quote you get to ICanLocalize, where we check the rates between the languages you've selected and produce your quote.
If you're taking translation services from ICanLocalize, that's great. However, you can still work out the cost of translation with any other translation service using this wizard and a calculator.
Drupal 7 teaser
We're almost ready with a Beta version for Translation Management for D7. We hope to release it next week.
Are you interested in testing that together with us?
