ImprovedAuto-translation

Language, tags and character limit context for AI auto-translations

You can now add additional context to improve AI auto-translation quality for specific languages. The context will apply only to the selected language so you can provide language-specific instructions or details to guide the translation process. You can set the context in the language settings (Languages tab) for AI translation providers (like OpenAI or OpenRouter).

Additionally, SimpleLocalize now includes translation tags descriptions and character limit as part of the context sent to the AI model during auto-translation requests. It helps the AI better understand the purpose and constraints of the text being translated.

ImprovedEditorMarkdown

Easier access to Text Editor for long translations

For translations longer than 800 characters, we now display a convenient button to open the Text Editor directly. This should make it easier to work with lengthy translations, like blog posts or emails.

ImprovedQA Checks

QA checks - Meaning check (experimental)

It's a small but meaningful improvement to our QA checks. The new meaning check analyzes the semantic similarity, ensuring that the translated text conveys the same meaning as the original. Currently, it is marked as experimental and is disabled by default. You can enable it in your project settings under the QA Checks section.

ImprovedUI

UI lifting

In this update, we made several improvements to the user interface:
  • New icon on the top-right side gives you quick access to the most common options like auto-translation, publication, QA checks, and in some cases like GitHub integration also sync options.
  • New row details selector for List View allows you to choose multiple details to show at once. You can also now hide the translation progress bar to reduce visual clutter.
  • We hide less important buttons and options behind the "..." menu to declutter the interface and make it easier to focus on the main tasks.
  • Context menu: We added option to Publish, Export or Run QA checks for selected rows.
  • Context menu: We made context menu a little smaller and compact to reduce its visual weight, so it doesn't distract from the main content.
  • Context menu: Rows and table cells are now correctly highlighted when context menu is open to indicate which item the menu is associated with.
  • Revised colors and styles for better readability and visual hierarchy.

ImprovedContext Menu

Context menu improvements

It's now easier to access common actions in the Translation Editor using the context menu. When you select multiple translations, the context menu will show only actions that can be applied to all selected items. You can also ignore all issues, suggest fixes or revalidate checks for selected translations directly from the context menu.

ImprovedQA Checks

ICU message format support

We have added support for ICU message format in QA checks. The new checks will validate the syntax and structure of ICU messages, ensuring that they are correctly formatted and free of errors. Source translation must be 100% compliant with ICU format for the checks to work properly for other translations. Additionally, we improved the existing QA checks to not report false positives for ICU messages or ICU like syntax. Learn more about ICU syntax

  • Added support for 'sort' option in the GitHub App when exporting translations.
  • Improved error handling and logging in the GitHub App for better troubleshooting to prevent store incorrect GitHub installation data.

You can now disable auto-translation for specific languages. To do that, go to the language settings and change "Translation provider" to "Disabled".
