Changelog
Improvements for WPML 4.9
- Added full support for object caching (e.g. Redis).
Multilingual Features
- [REST] Improved returning of product results in the correct language (especially for Variable Products) when using the
ordersendpoint. - [Advance Translation Editor] Product translation now displays the main image and gallery, enabling more accurate translations and allowing image-associated text to be translated. For the best experience, turn on the ‘Media Translation automatic detection’ option.
- Unlocked the option to set the
product_shipping_classtaxonomy to ‘not translated’ in WPML → Settings. The blocking message no longer appears, and the mechanism now correctly synchronises data between translated products.
Compatibility
- [WooCommerce PayPal Payments] Restored the ability to set messages on the checkout screen – restored display of information about the amount in converted currencies – when conversion is necessary.
- [WooCommerce Bookings] Improved the transition of statuses between translated bookings and improved the generation of notes and emails.
- [Facebook for WooCommerce] Fixed the cases where the product link could redirect to another language.
- [Facebook for WooCommerce ] Introduced the
wcml_facebook_sync_products_languagesfilter, allowing you to define the list of languages in which products will be synchronized.
