Translations now ride WPML’s Translation Service pipeline – the plugin no longer writes translated posts directly. Translations are pushed through WPML’s job queue (wpml_tm_send_jobs), so they appear in WPML’s Translation Management UI, respect WPML’s job statuses, and stay consistent with manual edits.
New: Taxonomy Translation page – dedicated admin tab to queue translation of categories, tags and custom taxonomies separately from posts, with its own term browser and per-term status.
Refactored to a single LATWAITR_TS_Service – the standalone Translator, WPML integration, ACF integration and page-builder bridge classes were collapsed into one Translation Service that talks to WPML directly. Smaller surface area, fewer moving parts.
Database & options upgrade – the queue table now stores TS job IDs and the dispatcher tracks WPML job state. The plugin auto-creates a dedicated WPML “translator” WP-user on activation and removes it on deactivation.
1.5.5
Translations filter bar – filter posts by status (published/draft), author, category, and tag; filter taxonomies by taxonomy type; filters persist in localStorage between page loads
Taxonomies tab renamed – the “Categories” tab is now called “Taxonomies” to better reflect that all public taxonomies are listed there
Fix: Rank Math schema fields skipped – rank_math_schema_* meta fields are no longer sent for translation, preventing unnecessary API calls and garbled JSON
Fix: taxonomy assignment in background context – assign_terms capability is now temporarily granted when wp_insert_post / wp_update_post runs from a cron/background job, so custom taxonomy terms are applied correctly
Fix: term translation response saved – the translated data is now stored in response_data when a term translation completes, matching the behaviour for posts
Fix: Gutenberg block translation restored – the wpml_page_builder_string_translated action now receives the nested [string_id => [lang => [status, value]]] format expected by Gutenberg’s WPML handler, fixing layout rebuild after translation
1.5.1
Background queue dispatcher – translations are now saved as pending and dispatched to OpenAI in batches by the cron, removing the old 50-item hard limit for queueing
Atomic taxonomy assignment – categories and custom taxonomies are now resolved and passed directly to wp_insert_post / wp_update_post, preventing WPML’s publish-time sync from overwriting them
Paginated translation queue – the queue table now supports pagination and a per-page selector (20 / 50 / 100 items)
Object cache layer – all repeated database reads (queue status, history, stats) are now cached via the WordPress object cache and invalidated on every write, fully compatible with Redis and Memcached
Improved retry logic – failed translations reset to pending so the dispatcher re-submits them, instead of creating a duplicate queue entry
Added pending / Waiting… status indicator in the queue table
Cancel button now also appears for pending items
Flush object cache after option saves so Redis/Memcached users see settings changes immediately
