roliM	Hi there, I am building a new website for the company I'm working for and, looking at the future, I wanted to make it not require jQuery any more. I just figured out this is impossible if we want to use WPML since all WPMLs js files seem to require jQuery. I have read in another post you are looking at updating WPML to not rely on jQuery anymore. Is that still on? Is there a timeframe for that?

Currently, our devs have other priorities. But I will add your feedback and vote to the ticket in the hope it will help move things forward. Hope this sounds good. Let us know if any other questions or doubts. Kind regards, Drazen

roliM	Thanks! It's a bit discapointing really. I am assuming this will be the case for all multilanguage WordPress plugins but, to be fair from my end, I am also looking at the others because of this.

I will keep this thread updated as soon as I get any new information from them (so if developers decide to remove 'jquery' dependency for frontend scripts). When and if this will happen I cannot tell. Regards, Bruno Kos
