The new features and fixes in version 1.2 (free upgrade for existing customers) are:

New Features

1. Directory browsing of translator plugin directory has been disabled for better security.
2. The ability to switch off translation statistics (from translator option page under Basic->Statistics->Disable Statistics section). You may gain some performance by switching off the statistics simply because it uses a database query to store the data. You can still use the Statistics widget to display your existing statistics. However it will not be updated if you decide to switch off stats. You can again switch it on any time.
3. In Translator Plugin Gold 1.2 we added a new hook / callback facility to enable you to view and process the translated page before it is served to the end user. Please refer to developer guide to know how to use it. The importance of this hook cannot be understated.
   You can use the tgTranslatorPostFilterHook to edit / modify the content of the translated pages before it is served to the user. You can also take action based on the content or engine used to translate the page.
   This hook can be used to handle errors in translation or even catch and process new types of errors. The actions include 1. ability to send custom error pages, 2. re-direct to original pages (for example in case of error), 3. displaying custom error messages and more. Few use cases for this hook are:
   • Provide customized title, meta tags & descriptions for translated pages to eliminate concerns about duplicate content. Check out the translated pages in simple thoughts for some usage examples (hint: look at the meta tags and title).
   • Provide custom error pages or re-direct to original page when translator is unable to translate a page (due to overload or temporary unavailability of engines).
   • Filter translated pages
   • Add your own content to translated pages like advertisements etc. You can also do it using existing translator API. However this provides full control over processing translated pages before it is served to the end-user.

Affiliate program for Translator plugins has been a much requested feature from our customers. I am happy that we finally got it out of the door (blame me for the delay). We will include more of our products in near future.

We have developed a new combo bar for displaying the languages for Translator Plugin Pro & Gold. Check it on the top right of this blog. You can select a language to translate to and you will be directed to the translated version of the page, no button to click.

The coolest feature is that it also works in browsers without Javascript, giving a decent layout. Additionally the links are fully accessible by search engine spiders like Googlebot, Yahoo Slurp! etc.

It consumes much less space than the previous versions and takes a fraction of the time to load (not to mention reduced network traffic) as only one small image is loaded instead of 32 images for 32 langauges in Translator Gold.

Would you like it on your blog? … A single combo bar to translate your WordPress blog to 32 languages?

With automation in place (and fully updated database) this time we were able to deliver the latest updates for Translator Plugin Pro 5.1.1 and Translator Plugin Gold 1.1.1 before we even made the announcement! This is a big milestone. Previously it used to take weeks to deliver the orders. Read below for details and what to do if you didn't receive your update.
