2.10.21
Maintenance release, kept in step with the Pro edition.
2.10.20
Paragraphs with quotation marks and SEO Generator titles, H1 and descriptions are translated again.
2.10.19
The WP Translator role now sees the plugin menu even when a white label plugin hides it.
2.10.18
The WP Translator role now also works with the Houzez theme, and gets full access inside the plugin.
2.10.17
Adds the "WP Translator" role, so someone can translate your site without being an administrator.
2.10.16
Recommended for everyone: removes the invisible characters the free engine could leave in translations and search titles, and keeps Gemini working when Google retires a model.
2.10.11
Recommended for everyone using the free engine: fixes "PLEASE SELECT TWO DISTINCT LANGUAGES" and the Google "error 429" on shared hosting.
2.10.9
Recommended for everyone. Fixes pages whose address starts with a language code (404 or redirect to the original language on their translated URL) and adds Support & feedback inside the plugin. Note: hreflang codes change from "en-US" to "en" by default.
2.10.8
Recommended for everyone on 2.10.7: it fixes headings and paragraphs that 2.10.7 left untranslated on large pages.
2.10.7
Recommended for Elementor sites. Paragraphs and headings with a link or bold text in the middle are now translated as one sentence instead of coming out half translated.
2.10.6
Recommended. The setup wizard now opens reliably after activation and explains how to add the language switcher, page titles are translated without an SEO plugin, and scans no longer store internal data as text to translate.
2.10.5
Recommended. Fixes a critical error when adding the Language Switcher widget, and redirects addresses with two language prefixes (/de/en/…) with a 301 so they stop being indexed as separate pages.
2.10.4
Optional. Nothing changes in the free plugin; this release only keeps the version in step with the paid edition.
2.10.3
Recommended. The plugin was writing a cookie on every visit, which stopped page caching from working on the whole site. Update if your hosting has a full-page cache (Cloudways, Varnish, SiteGround, Kinsta and similar).
2.10.2
Optional. Fixes the "Write a review" button, which was opening a page that does not exist. Nothing changes in how the plugin translates.
2.10.1
Recommended if you translate with Gemini: testing an API key was checking the saved model instead of the one you had just picked, so every model looked broken in the same way. Also lets you choose the language switcher style from Settings.
2.10.0
Optional. Adds a Support screen with built-in help and a form to report problems. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you fill that form in and press Send.
2.9.5
Optional. Nothing changes in how the plugin translates. The review request now waits until the plugin has actually been working on your site for a while, and can be postponed.
2.9.3
Recommended for every site, and especially for shops. Any visitor who had opened a page in a second language was losing the query string on links without a language prefix, so add-to-cart links, coupons and site search did nothing.
2.9.2
Optional. Adds nothing to how the plugin translates: after your first translation it asks once, and only once, whether you want to leave a review.
2.9.1
Recommended if you have ever saved an API key and seen it come back as "Not configured". The key was usually saved; the screen was painting a stale state and hiding the error behind it.
2.8.1
Cosmetic release: the Pro notice now links straight to the licence it offers. Nothing changes in how the plugin translates.
2.8.0
Recommended for everyone. Your translated pages are announced to Google again — most of them were not, so they were never indexed. Also: links and bold text no longer disappear from translated paragraphs, pages whose address contains "sitemap" are translated again, and auto-translate on save now works in the block editor.
2.7.9
Fixes the Pro notice, which was invisible on the plugin's own screens, and shows the launch offer while it lasts. Nothing changes in how the plugin translates.
2.7.8
Housekeeping release. No change to how the plugin translates; it only adds a dismissible notice about the Pro version.
2.7.7
The interface is now translated into Spanish, French, German, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese, and follows your WordPress language.
2.6.0
Adds auto-translate on save and Yoast SEO title translation. Recommended for everyone.
