WordPress 6.6 moves away from PHP 7, embracing the faster and more efficient PHP 8+. This release of WPML ensures full compatibility with the latest WordPress and PHP versions.

WordPress 6.6 Changes Support for PHP Versions

WordPress 6.6, scheduled for release on July 16, brings numerous enhancements to the Block Editor, plus a host of other improvements. 

Notably, it changes the recommended PHP version to 7.4 or later, dropping support for PHP 7.0 and 7.1.

WPML 4.6.12 adds support for PHP 8.3 and enhances the overall experience with PHP 8.x.

Get Ready for Better Than Human Translations!

We’re excited to introduce two major upcoming features, which will work together to deliver automatic translation that’s often better than human translation:

  • WPML AI is our new translation engine. It uses LLM technology to deliver contextual and native translation.
  • Maiya will make sure that WPML understands precisely what your text means and that we translate it correctly.
Maiya will help you produce better than human translations

How to Update

As usual, we’re releasing WPML 4.6.12 and String Translation 3.2.13 gradually. As this is not a critical update, we recommend waiting until the updates reach your site. 

If you prefer to update immediately, go to PluginsAdd New, click the Commercial tab, and hit the Check for updates button.
