Fix: the built-in Logs tab now shows log entries. Requests to the logs endpoint were missing the required authentication header, so the tab always showed “No log entries found.”
1.9.22
Fix: the plugin connection could silently drop on sites that had connected before refresh tokens were available. The plugin now detects this correctly and shows the reconnect prompt.
1.9.21
Fix: clicking “Sync” after the LangRelay connection expired would show a generic error with no way to recover. It now shows a clear message with a reconnect link.
1.9.20
Fix: newly published pages are now correctly translated on first visit.
1.9.19
Fix: newly published pages are now correctly translated on first visit.
1.9.18
Improvement: pages that have not been translated yet are automatically prepared for translation in the background when first visited. Future visitors see a fully translated page without any delay.
1.9.17
Fix: WordPress admin links no longer show a language prefix in the URL.
Fix: dynamic content (modals, AJAX panels) no longer re-translates text that is already in the target language.
Fix: very short sentence fragments are no longer sent for translation, reducing unnecessary API calls.
1.9.16
Fix: links in the WooCommerce mini-cart drawer (View cart, Checkout) now point to the correct language URL. These links are loaded via AJAX, so the plugin’s server-side link rewriting couldn’t reach them — they’re now rewritten in the browser automatically.
1.9.15
Fix: WooCommerce checkout fields (Billing address, Contact information, First name, etc.) now translate on page load. The translation engine now scans content that was already rendered by React before it started — previously these labels were invisible to LangRelay because they appeared before the observer attached.
1.9.14
Fix: dynamic translations on language-prefixed URLs (e.g. /de/checkout) now correctly associate with the source-language page, so coverage tracking in the dashboard is accurate.
Improvement: screen-reader-only text (invisible to sighted visitors) is no longer sent for translation, reducing unnecessary API calls on WooCommerce checkout pages.
Improvement: price strings like “CHF 25,00” and “€25.00” are no longer sent for translation.
1.9.13
Improvement: dynamically translated content (modals, React blocks, WooCommerce checkout) now counts toward the correct page’s translation coverage in the dashboard.
Performance: dynamic translations appear faster — the browser no longer waits for background processing to complete before showing translated text.
1.9.12
Fix: WooCommerce Blocks checkout section headings and field labels (Contact information, Billing address, First name, etc.) now render in the target language. React was re-rendering these from wp.i18n.__() after PHP translation — an inline script now pre-loads translations into the wp.i18n registry before the deferred WC Blocks scripts execute.
Fix: auto-redirect now skips when the X-LangRelay-Crawler request header is present, so the LangRelay crawler always receives the source-language page instead of being redirected to a language-prefixed URL. Also adds langrelay to the bot user-agent bypass list as a fallback.
1.9.11
Fix: auto-redirect no longer fires on /wp-admin, /wp-login.php, or /wp-json paths. With force-fallback enabled, logged-out users were being redirected from /wp-admin to /<lang>/404/.
1.9.10
Fix: visitor routing settings (auto_redirect, auto_redirect_fallback, auto_redirect_force_fallback) synced from the LangRelay dashboard now persist correctly. They were being stripped by the settings sanitizer, so auto-redirect never engaged on synced sites even when enabled in the dashboard.
Add X-LangRelay-Handle and X-LangRelay-AutoRedirect response headers, the auto-redirect state in /wp-json/langrelay/v1/debug/status, and a log entry on every “Sync project” attempt — so support can diagnose redirect issues without touching the server.
1.9.6
Add “Always redirect to fallback” toggle – overrides browser language matching, sends every non-bot visitor to the chosen fallback language. Useful when the WordPress site language is set to one language but the customer wants traffic served from a different language URL prefix by default.
Sync auto_redirect, auto_redirect_fallback, and auto_redirect_force_fallback from the LangRelay API so dashboard changes propagate to the plugin.
Refactor LangRelay_Auto_Redirect::maybe_redirect to use a pure resolve() method for testability.
1.9.5
Fix: language switcher chevron now sits inline next to the flag/language name. The 1.9.4 button reset (display: contents) inadvertently broke the default row layout of the customizable select; explicitly making the select an inline-flex row restores it.
1.9.4
Fix: language switcher’s inner trigger button now correctly resets against page-builder themes. With appearance: base-select, the browser renders a <button> inside the <select> that themes like Elementor were re-styling (red background, uppercase text). The 1.9.3 fix scoped the <select> styles but missed this inner button. Now explicitly resets it with all: unset; display: contents at higher specificity.
1.9.3
Fix: language switcher styles now beat aggressive page-builder themes (Elementor, Divi, etc.) by scoping selectors under .langrelay-switcher for higher specificity. Also explicitly resets text-transform, letter-spacing, font-weight, and text-align so themes that style bare button elements no longer leak through.
1.9.2
Security: escape hreflang and canonical output with wp_kses().
Security: use wp_add_inline_script() for translation preloading instead of raw script injection.
Security: eliminate unescaped full-page echo by using ob_start() callback.
Improvement: rename all transient prefixes from lr_ to langrelay_ for consistency.
Fix: stale mock prefix in cache purge test after transient rename.
1.9.1
Security: use wp_safe_redirect() for auto language redirects.
Security: remove token preview from debug REST endpoint.
Improvement: bundle country flag SVGs locally instead of loading from external CDN.
1.9.0
WordPress.org plugin review compliance: removed “WordPress” trademark from display name, fixed Plugin URI, properly sanitize all settings fields in register_setting callback, and explicitly close output buffer via shutdown hook.
New: setup wizard now lets you select an existing organization and project instead of requiring a new one.
Removed debug panel from setup wizard.
1.8.1
Fix: languages added in the LangRelay dashboard now auto-sync to WordPress via a project.updated webhook event.
New: manual “Sync” button in the Project Status card to pull the latest project settings (languages, source language) from the dashboard on demand.
Improvement: existing installs automatically reconcile their webhook subscription on the next admin page load to include the new project.updated event.
1.8.0
Dynamic content translation: modals, AJAX panels, and client-rendered content (React, Vue, Svelte) now translate without flickering or invisible text.
Performance: client-side translations are cached in localStorage with automatic version-based invalidation when you edit translations in the dashboard.
Performance: first batch of dynamic text translates immediately (no 300ms debounce delay on initial render).
New: server-side translation map is pre-loaded into the client SDK, so shared strings translate instantly from cache.
New: debug logging via ?langrelay_debug=1 query param or data-debug=”true” on the script tag for troubleshooting.
1.7.1
Fix: script blocks containing HTML string literals (e.g. WooCommerce gallery scripts building <a> and <img> tags in JavaScript) are no longer corrupted by the URL rewriter. DOMDocument now skips script and style blocks during URL rewriting.
Fix: translation matching is now case-insensitive. Menu items and other text styled with CSS text-transform (e.g. “wallcoverings” in HTML displayed as “Wallcoverings” via CSS) now match translations regardless of casing.
1.7.0
Email translation: outgoing WordPress emails (wp_mail) can now be translated to the recipient’s language. Enable under Settings > LangRelay.
WooCommerce email integration: order confirmations and other WooCommerce emails are automatically translated when email translation is enabled.
Batch translation API: new translate_batch() method for translating plain text strings without HTML overhead.
URL slug routing fix: translated URL slugs are now reverse-translated before WordPress routing, fixing 404s on translated permalink slugs.
Bundled client JavaScript locally instead of loading from an external server.
Various wp.org Plugin Check compliance fixes.
1.6.0
