5.10.0

Released: 20 October 2022

5.9.1

Released: 22 August 2022

  • TRANSLATIONS-348
    Star Connector: introduce extension point (protected method) to the StarTranslationConnector on behalf of subclasses being able add a custom attribute to the XML that is sent out:
    protected processXML(byte[] documentXml, TranslationJobItem jobItem)
  • TRANSLATIONS-360
    Fix for the "Enable compound configuration" functionality (since 5.8.0), where fields of compounds aren't sent anymore if not explicitly configured.

5.9.0

Released: 24 June 2022

5.8.0

Released: 18 May 2022

  • TRANSLATIONS-338
    Recreate the settings panel (which worked on XM 14.0 only), as custom configuration perspective, for 14.1 and higher.
    The dependency on the Settings Management GitHub plugin is no longer present, so implementation projects should remove those Maven dependencies. Please revisit the installation page.
    See also the configuration page.
  • TRANSLATIONS-313
    Add a new feature to the above configuration perspective, to be able to select the compound types that are enabled for translations, plus the fields inside compounds. The feature must be enabled in the same perspective, using "Enable compound configuration" checkbox.
  • TRANSLATIONS-346
    Fix a filtering bug in the Requests Overview, where selecting multple Status values lead to wrong results. 

5.7.0

Released: 14 March 2022

  • TRANSLATIONS-316
    Better feedback when requesting translations from the Document Search.
  • TRANSLATIONS-319
    Add a filter to the Document Search to easier find documents that are translated to other languages.
    This release will add a Groovy script MarkTranslatedDocuments to the updater registry. For the correct working of the new feature, the script has to be run once on every environment, so that existing documents will get the correct metadata. 
    Note: the script queries all documents so can be heavy on resources, so please use the script carefully, maybe change query, throttle, batch size. After this task, the metadata will be kept in sync when a translation is added or when a document is deleted.

Upgrade steps for 5.3.0

The configuration for multiple connectors is different. The new configuratIon will be bootstrapped automatically. However, if you have bootstrap data in your project that assumes the old configation, you might need to change this to match the new configuration.

The connector config has moved from
/hippo:configuration/hippo:modules/translation-services-daemon/hippo:moduleconfig/translationsaddon:connector to .../translationsaddon:connector-{connector name}, such as translationsaddon:connector-livewords or translationsaddon:connector-globallink

Existing translation jobs should be updated. All nodes of type translationsaddon:job have a property translationsaddon:connector (String) with a value matching the connector class name (LivewordsTranslationConnector, TesterTranslationConnector, GlobalLinkTranslationConnector, etc). This property can be added manually in the console or created by a simple Groovy Updater Script.

In order to upgrade, please follow the steps below:

  1. Change all references of /hippo:configuration/hippo:modules/translation-services-daemon/hippo:moduleconfig/translationsaddon:connector
    in your bootstrap yaml files to /hippo:configuration/hippo:modules/translation-services-daemon/hippo:moduleconfig/translationsaddon:connector-{connector name}.
    Make sure that any configurations that are not in bootstrap yaml files are moved on the various environments as well. Think URLs and passwords, environment-specific subnodes.
  2. Remove any connector configurations you do not wish to use.
  3. Update all nodes of type translationsaddon:job, add the property translationsaddon:connector (String) if it does not exist with a value matching the connector class name (LivewordsTranslationConnector, TesterTranslationConnector, GlobalLinkTranslationConnector, etc). 
    Note: from version 5.4.11 upwards, the overview dashboard is more robust against any missing property.

5.2.0 

Released: 1 July 2020

  • TRANSLATIONS-285
    In the Star connector, add a star.jobGroups configuration property. It specifies a comma-separated list of job group names to accept when polling for ready jobs.

5.1.1

Released: 7 May 2020

5.1.0

Released: 3 April 2020

  • TRANSLATIONS-279
    Improvement in the STAR connector: the sent file name is now the document name instead of the id.
  • TRANSLATIONS-282
    Improvement in the STAR connector: the mapping from standard ISO locales to Microsoft LDIC locales is moved from a coded utility to the connector property star.localesMap, see also the Star connector.
  • TRANSLATIONS-280
    In the yaml bootstrapping of the advanced search UI part,  use "add" operation instead of overriding property /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-advanced-search/workflowPlugin/workflow.categories.
