New and Improved Advanced Translation Editor is Here!

Announcements

The new version of WPML’s Advanced Translation Editor works and looks better. It provides a streamlined interface, the ability to edit paragraphs as single items, easier translation of links, and more.

Besides the new design and improvements, this prepares the editor for great new features coming in WPML 4.7 — our upcoming big release.

What’s New in the Advanced Translation Editor

The new Advanced Translation Editor is already enabled on all sites. Here are the top updates and features.

Revamped Interface and Easier to Use

Besides updated design, the new Advanced Translation Editor improves experience with a clear interface and better tooltips. We also added a dark mode (turn it on in the editor’s settings).

Edit Paragraphs as Single Items

One of the questions we often get is why paragraphs are broken into separate sentences. While you can manually join sentences together, we realized it’s not the most intuitive approach.

This is why the new Advanced Translation Editor does this for you by default. A paragraph now appears as a single item with multiple sentences. In other words, you edit a paragraph as a whole.

An added benefit of this change is improved automatic translation. This is because now, AI translates the whole paragraph as one item and more sentences provide it with more context which is crucial for accurate translations.

Easy Link Translation

The new Advanced Translation Editor makes link translation super easy:

  • Most of the links now display inline and you translate them with the rest of the content
  • Some special types of links appear as separate segments

But most importantly, you don’t need to search for links anymore to be able to translate them.

Want to Use the Previous Version?

If you want, you can revert to the old Advanced Translation Editor. Simply go to the editor, click the cog icon in the top right corner of the screen, and toggle the option to use the previous version. 

You can also disable the bigger segments option if you prefer to translate paragraphs as separate sentences.

The old version of the editor will be available for some time but will eventually be phased out.

Still Using the Classic Translation Editor?

If you’re still using our old Classic Translation Editor now is a great time to switch. The Advanced Translation Editor provides many more features and now, it comes with the same simplicity.

The top features you are missing without the Advanced Translation Editor:

Safe editing that cannot break your site

Glossary for both manual and automatic translation

Top-of-the-class AI translations

Translation memory that saves you time and money

Spellchecker

And more…
