GlotPress 2.0 “Beaker”

GlotPress IconAfter 2.5 months we’re pleased to announce the second release of GlotPress as a WordPress plugin.

Version 2.0 of GlotPress, named “Beaker” (the assistant to Bunsen Honeydew), is now available for download or update in your WordPress dashboard.

This release was focused on enhancements to the existing codebase and to tweak several forms to make them more intuitive. For example, you no longer have to select a format when uploading your translations, GlotPress will auto detect the format.

Also say good bye to dead ends, all forms now have a button to return to the previous page.

Ever created a wrong translation set? Now you can delete them with just two clicks, along with translations and glossaries. Even projects can be deleted.

More highlights:

  • UI to manage GlotPress administrators
  • Case-sensitive translation searches
  • Support for Java properties files
  • New and updated default locales
  • Inline documentation for actions and filters
  • Want to know more? Read the full changelog here.

We’ve also moved the “Translation Propagation” feature into its own plugin. The initial version had a few issues so we decided to remove it from core and make it available as a plugin. You can download the plugin from the WordPress.org plugin directory.

In this version 49 issues were solved and 120 Pull Requests were merged, a total of 380 commits.

Contributors of this release: Aki Björklund, Rami Yushuvaev, Dominik Schilling, Greg Ross, Peter Dave Helloand, and Sergey Biryukov.

GlotPress 1.0 “Bunsen Honeydew”

GlotPress IconVersion 1.0 of GlotPress, named “Bunsen Honeydew”, is available for download in WordPress.org’s Plugin Directory.
This is the first public release of GlotPress as a WordPress plugin, ​an alternative to the standalone version.

 

Between the initial commit and today’s last commit for the first plugin version 70 issues were solved and 86 Pull Requests were merged, a total of 352 commits.

 

Some highlights:

  • It’s a plugin! 😉
  • WP-CLI support
  • Integrated with WordPress’s user system
  • Easy installation through the WordPress.org plugin directory
  • Multisite support

For the first version the goal was to change as little as possible to get it working well. But still we had to remove some things in favour of WordPress’ API system. You can review the list of breaking changes in our wiki. If you have existing plugins for the standalone version take a look at this guide on how to convert them to WordPress plugins.

 

Contributors of this release: Aki Björklund, Alex Kirk, Andrew Nacin, Ashley Rich, Brad Touesnard, Chantal Coolsma, Dominik Schilling, Gabor Javorszky, Gilbert Pellegrom, Greg Ross, Iain Poulson, Ian M. Jones, Jeff Gould, Ryan McCue, and Samuel Sidler. Also, a special thanks goes to Hugo Baeta for the great logo!
