Gagoo Translate

Changelog

2.4.2

• New extension point on the Settings screen (gagootrans_settings_cards) used by Gagoo Translate Pro for its optional AI API settings.

2.4.1

• Page-builder compatibility detector: pages built with Beaver Builder, Bricks, Oxygen, SiteOrigin, Brizy, Cornerstone or Thrive Architect are now clearly flagged (🧱 in the Translations matrix + explanation in the editor) instead of silently showing “no translatable text”. WPBakery/Avada shortcode pages and Divi pages get tailored guidance.

2.4.0

• The “Languages” menu is now “Settings” — the page also hosts the language switcher style and content visibility options.
• Translation editor: strings containing HTML now show a clear HTML badge, a syntax-tinted code view, and an info bubble explaining how to handle the tags.
• Automatic updates for self-hosted builds (the WordPress.org build receives its updates from WordPress.org and makes no network request).

2.3.1

• New: optional “Hide untranslated content” setting (Languages page) — blog, archive, search and shop listings on translated pages only show posts and products already translated into the current language.

2.3.0

• New: categories, tags, WooCommerce product categories/tags and custom taxonomy terms are now translatable (names + descriptions) — part of the free site-wide pack.
• New: ACF custom fields (text, textarea, WYSIWYG — including repeater sub-fields) are translated at the source, so get_field() and shortcodes output the translated text.
• New: WooCommerce purchase note, global attribute labels (Color, Size…) and per-product custom attributes (names + values) are translatable.
• New: sidebar/footer widgets (text, Custom HTML, block widgets) are translatable in the site-wide pack.
• Improved: machine values (URLs, dates, IDs, serialized data, ACF choice keys) are no longer extracted as translatable strings.
• Improved: editing a category/tag now flags its translations as outdated, like post edits.

2.2.2

• New: “Show HTML code” toggle in the translation editor — displays the raw HTML of source texts (colored spans, line breaks…) so you can reproduce the same tags in your translation. Off by default, remembered per browser.
• Fix: a string fixed by hand now leaves the “To update” filter (and drops its orange border) without reloading the page.

2.2.1

• New: the source language can now be changed — “Set as source” button on the Languages screen (with confirmation; existing translations are kept).

2.2.0

• New: full language switcher customizer — visual corner picker, custom colors (button, text, border, dropdown, hover), corner roundness, and a live preview.
• New: clear shortcode guide with copy button and an options reference table.
• Fix: Elementor Pro forms are now translatable (field labels, placeholders, select options, submit button, custom messages).
• Fix: completed the admin translations for all 8 bundled languages (license screen included) and removed obsolete entries.

2.1.4

• Hand-typed internal links (Elementor buttons, custom menu URLs like “/contact”) are now rewritten to the visitor’s language on translated pages — they used to drop visitors back into the source language.

2.1.3

• The switcher dropdown now opens toward the side with available space automatically (a shortcode in a bottom-pinned header opens upward, a top header downward). Pin it with direction=”up|down” if needed.
• New display option: flag + language name, or flag only.
• New styles: light, dark, or no background (inherits your site’s colors) — as a site-wide setting or per shortcode: [gagootrans_switcher display=”flag” theme=”dark”].

2.1.2

• Fixed: the [gagootrans_switcher] shortcode rendered unstyled (plain bullet list) when the floating switcher was disabled — its CSS/JS now always load.
• The dropdown now opens downward when the switcher sits at the top of the page (shortcode in a header, top corners) and upward only for the bottom corners.

2.1.1

• The floating language switcher can now dock to any corner of the screen (Languages screen setting) so it never overlaps chat widgets.
• Tighter switcher spacing on small screens.
• Manual edits now purge LiteSpeed Cache and WP Rocket automatically, including the translated URL.

2.1.0

• New unified “Translations” screen: the status overview and the editor are now one page. See every page’s translation progress at a glance (overall %, per-language %, per-page progress bar) and click any cell to edit that page in that language directly.
• Language tabs in the editor: switch the language you are translating into without leaving the page.
• The separate “Status” page was removed; old links redirect to the new screen.
• Completed the admin translation catalogs for the 8 bundled interface languages.

2.0.0

• The free plugin is now fully unlimited: translate any number of pages into any number of languages by hand. All quotas and license checks removed.
• Bulk AI export/import and WooCommerce catalog translation moved to the separate Gagoo Translate Pro add-on (gagootranslate.com).
• The free plugin no longer makes any network request — no telemetry, no license pings.
• New dashboard wizard focused on the manual translation flow.
• SEO: archives under a language prefix now 301-redirect to the source URL when the language has no translated post to list.
• Fixed: all admin actions (add language, manual edit…) were broken in 1.4.2 by a partial identifier rename.

1.4.2

• Fixed: adding a language could silently fail with no feedback when the code was rejected; now reports a clear error.

1.4.1

• SEO: canonical URLs now cover Yoast SEO, Rank Math and All in One SEO on translated pages.
• SEO: archives, untranslated-page redirects, cached multilingual sitemap.
• Security: imported translations are sanitized like manual edits.
• Performance: new database index, fewer queries per page view.

1.2.0

• Header/footer/menu translation, image alt texts, per-page language switcher, outdated-translation detection.

1.1.0

• Translated slugs, multilingual sitemap.
