WPML 4.6.8 – Simplified Review for Hidden Languages and Other Enhancements - WPML

WPML 4.6.8 lets you send forms for automatic translation, easily review content translated into hidden languages, and more.

We just released WPML 4.6.7. This update improves how WPML handles dual domain setups, offers performance boosts for large multilingual sites, and delivers other improvements.

Better Workflow for Dual Domain Setups​

If you have two independent domains pointing to the same website, WPML has been reading this as a site move or copy. As a result, WPML showed you the migration wizard and stopped you from translating on the secondary domain.

For such setups, WPML 4.6.7 adds a Force-enable WPML’s Advanced Translation Editor button to the WPML Troubleshooting page. This lets you use the Advanced Translation Editor on both sites without needing to go through the migration wizard.

Fixed Automatic Translation Review​

When reviewing automatically translated pages, you may have noticed previews showing an outdated version of the translation. At the same time, the Advanced Translation Editor and front-end of your website would show the most recent translations.

We’ve pinned down and fixed this issue, which occurred because old autosaves were overwriting the preview post.

Performance Gains for Large Sites​

WPML 4.6.7 reduces the number of queries and memory usage needed to show the translation status icon on your lists of posts and pages. This ensures smoother operation for sites translating numerous posts across various secondary languages.

Other Bug Fixes and Enhancements​

When using cache plugins like Redis Object Cache or Object Cache Pro with WPML, you may have encountered the following issues:

• After selecting the Translate Everything Automatically mode in the WPML Setup wizard, the status of your automatic translations was stuck on “Calculating…”.
• After you created a new user and added them as a translator, they didn’t show up for selection in the Translation Basket until you cleared the cache.

WPML 4.6.7 resolves these issues, which occurred only when persistent object caching was enabled.

Additionally, WPML 4.6.7 fixes two fatal PHP errors that could happen in specific cases:

• An error causing a blank screen, with PHP Fatal error: Uncaught InvalidArgumentException: element_id and type do not match appearing in debug mode.
• An error reading [Unknown column: rid or invalid id: 0] that appeared when trying to add a translation.

WPML 4.6.7 also resolves other bugs and glitches.

Today we released WPML 4.6.6 and String Translation 3.2.8. These patch releases come with fixes to multisite setups with more than one translator and issues related to using the latest version of String Translation with WordPress 6.3.

What Does WPML 4.6.6 Fix?​

Your feedback after the WPML 4.6.5 release was crucial and helped us fix an issue related to the missing translator list in Multisite setups.

On a Multisite setup, updating to WPML 4.6.5 resulted in the list of Translators found on the WPML → Translation Management page to disappear.

There was also an issue with reusing string translations in the Classic Translation Editor.

WPML 4.6.6 fixes both of these issues.

Fixes Included in String Translation 3.2.8​

String Translation 3.2.8 fixes a couple of issues that arise when using the previous version of String Translation with WordPress 6.3. These include:

• Performance problems on WordPress 6.3 when using String Translation 3.2.7

In specific cases, String Translation could repeatedly translate strings from the default domain, exhausting memory and leading the server to respond with a 500 Internal server error.

• Issues displaying translated strings on the front-end with String Translation 3.2.7 on WordPress 6.3

Sometimes, even when a string was translated to all secondary languages, it would display as translated on the front-end for only some languages. For others, the default language string was shown.

WPML 4.6.5 – Seamless Compatibility with WordPress 6.3 - WPML

WPML 4.6.5 gives you full compatibility with the soon-to-be-launched WordPress 6.3 and bids farewell to support for PHP 5.6 in favor of PHP 7.

We just released WPML 4.6.4 and WooCommerce Multilingual 5.2.0. Driven by your valuable feedback, these updates introduce improvements and features designed to make the experience of creating a multilingual WordPress website faster and better.

We fixed the common pain points, improved stability, enhanced performance, and modernized user interfaces.

WPML: Full PHP 8.1 Compatibility​

WPML 4.6.4 brings full support for PHP 8.1, the current standard for running modern websites. Compared to previous versions, PHP 8.1 is faster, more secure, and more efficient with memory.

Up until now and including this release, we maintained WPML’s compatibility with the older PHP 5.6 version. However, going forward, from the next release, we may have functionalities that will be incompatible with PHP 5.6.

If your server is still running PHP 5.6 version or older, we strongly recommend updating your site to PHP 7.0 or newer.

WPML: Alert When Automatic Translation Can Cost a Lot​

WPML’s Translate Everything Automatically mode simplifies your translation process. However, sometimes you’re about to automatically translate a lot of content that you’re not aware of.

WPML 4.6.4 checks if the amount of automatic translation is large and notifies you about it. This is the first step in helping you know how much you’re about to spend translating your site. In the next releases, we’re going to not only warn against high usage, but give you an accurate cost for translating the entire content of your site.

WPML: Easy Process for Moving Sites Between Development, Production and Staging​

When the address (URL) of your site changes, it may mean that you’ve just changed its address, but oftentimes, it means that you’re running separate development, production and staging environments. WPML 4.6.4 helps manage different copies of your site a lot easier by taking care of your translation memory and credits for automatic translation.

WPML 4.6.4 introduces a new migration wizard to guide you through this process, providing you with clear steps and explanations along the way.

WPML: Enhanced Compatibility with Elementor​

Elementor recently introduced new features, elevating the page-building experience. WPML 4.6.4 adds full support for the new Loop Carousel and Loop widgets.

However, a recent release of Elementor also introduced some compatibility issues with WPML. As part of our dedication to seamless integration, we resolved these in WPML 4.6.4:

• Enabled the translation of media for the Multiple galleries type in the Elementor Pro Gallery widget
• Added a fix for a bug that caused a PHP notice to appear when using the Add to Cart button for WooCommerce products in templates
• Fixed the display conditions for popups translated using the Translation Editor
• Fixed an issue where the category in the URL was not translated when using an Elementor template to display a single post
• Fixed issues with automatically translating basic widgets

Additionally, we fixed some issues related to using the Translate Everything Automatically mode with Elementor.

WooCommerce Multilingual 5.2.0: Wizard Makeover and Multicurrency Enhancements​

What’s New in WPML 4.6.3​

This WPML release focuses primarily on compatibility with WordPress 6.2, so you can keep your sites up to date without breaking them.

WPML’s Compatibility with WordPress 6.2​

WordPress 6.2 changes the Navigation menu which conflicts with WPML’s Language Switcher block. When trying to edit the Dimension setting in the Language Switcher block, it freezes the editor. WPML 4.6.3 resolves this issue, making your language switcher formatting smooth and hassle-free.

Resolved PHP 8 Errors​

We have been listening to feedback regarding PHP 8 issues reported by clients. We have worked hard to resolve these issues to ensure websites running PHP 8 continue to run smoothly and efficiently.

WPML String Translation 3.2.5 fixes a fatal error with string scanning that’s related to PHP 8.

We have just released WPML 4.6.1, which includes an important security fix. We strongly recommend updating WPML to the latest version on all your websites as soon as possible.

Two days ago, we received a report about an XSS vulnerability in WPML. Due to security reasons, we cannot provide further details at this time.

While we don’t know of any sites that have been affected, we always advise updating WPML whenever a new release addresses security issues – big or small.

All you need to do is update all your sites running WPML to the latest version, WPML 4.6.1.

Today, we released WPML 4.6. This is a major update with several new features and improvements, and it’s available to download now.

Check out the main features in detail below, or see our changelog for all the included updates.

Rollout Plan and WordPress 6.2​

As usual, we are releasing WPML 4.6 in batches, starting with 5% of the sites.

Because WordPress 6.2 is scheduled for release at the end of March we’ll have another WPML release before that.

All sites with a valid account will receive WPML 4.6 ahead of WordPress 6.2. If we see that there’s no WPML update needed for WordPress 6.2, we’ll push the current update. If we need to apply additional changes to WPML, you’ll receive them together in one update from us.

WPML 4.6 includes many things that will help you translate content easier. If you want to get started with this release without any additional wait, go to your account’s Downloads page, or update directly from your WordPress admin:

1. Go to Plugins → Add New.
2. Click the Commercial tab.
3. Click Check for Updates.

Updates to Translation Mode Options​

We’ve made some improvements to Translation Mode options in WPML 4.6 to make them more user-friendly. Our previous naming conventions – Translate Everything and Translate Some – were confusing to clients. Now, we are calling these options Translate Everything Automatically and Translate What You Choose. We hope this update will make translating your site more clear and intuitive.

Bulk Automatic Translation Workflow Improvements​

In WPML 4.6, we’ve made improvements to the bulk auto-translation workflow. You can now translate selected content automatically without having to open the Advanced Translation Editor.

To send content to be translated automatically in bulk, you first need to either assign credits to your site or sign up for pay-as-you-go. Then, it’s as easy as using Translation Management:

1. Go to WPML → Translation Management.
2. Select the content you want to translate and the languages you want to translate it into.
3. Choose Translate automatically and start translating!

Reviews for Bulk Automatic Translation​

Although machine translation has come a long way in the last several years, it’s good to review the translations to make sure everything sounds right. Previously, the review options were only available to clients who translated their whole site automatically. With WPML 4.6, any client who uses automatic translation can easily review and edit their translations.

When WPML finishes translating, you will see a notification in the admin bar or on the Translation Management Dashboard that there are translations ready for your review. Click this notification to see a list of translation jobs ready for review.

Translations waiting for review
Click Review to see what the translation will look like on the site’s front-end. You can accept the translations or edit them to open them in the Advanced Translation Editor.

You can adjust your review settings (along with your preferred translation engines) in WPML → Settings.

New Language Switcher Block for Gutenberg​

WPML 4.6 introduces a new language switcher block for Gutenberg. This means you can:

• Add a language switcher to posts, pages, and other site content without shortcodes
• Build sites that use the Site Editor (formerly known as Full Site Editing)

Language switcher block and settings
If you add a language switcher block to a template or template part, you will need to translate it. You can select it from the Translation Management Dashboard and send it to translation just like any other content.

Performance Improvements​

In addition to these new features and enhancements, we’ve also made improvements to WPML to make it even faster and more efficient. While we’re proud of the performance improvements we’ve made, we want to remind you that you shouldn’t expect a huge boost in your site’s performance. This is because WPML is already optimized. However, we’re constantly working to improve WPML and make sure it consumes as few resources as necessary.

We also recommend checking out our blog post with performance suggestions.

SVG Flags for Language Switcher​

This release upgrades the old PNG flags in the language switcher to SVG vector files. Many of our clients have requested this update, and it comes with several benefits:

• SVG images have smaller file sizes which means faster load times and improved site speed ranking
• Vector images display beautifully no matter what your site visitors’ screen resolution is
