Tricot

Changelog

3.10.0 – 2026-08-12

• ADD – Translation exports are now ordered by display order: strings are grouped by page and sorted by their position on the page, so translators read them in the same sequence a visitor sees. A new “Position” column shows where each string sits.
• ADD – The validation table “Source URL” column is now sortable by display order (group by page, then position on the page) — previously this header did nothing.
• ADD – Detection records the on-page position of each string (new position column on the locations table). Positions fill in as pages are detected; run a detection pass to populate existing content.

3.8.0 – 2026-08-12

• ADD – Detection and translation of front-end content loaded through AJAX (dynamic listings, “load more”, filtered/paginated views). A new fragment translator handles standalone HTML safely (no / wrapper added), and JSON responses can be translated too — only string values that actually contain HTML markup are touched, everything else is returned untouched.
• ADD – Opt-in filter tricot_allow_ajax_request to enable translation for a specific admin-ajax action (empty by default, so nothing changes until an action is allowed; Tricot’s own actions are never processed).
• FIX – The Events Calendar: calendar views reloaded via AJAX (navigation, filters, pagination) are now translated, using the plugin’s own view-HTML filter. Regular page loads are unaffected (still handled by the main output buffer, no double-processing).
• FIX – AJAX/JSON fragment translation uses the short 5-second API timeout so a slow translation service can never block a front-facing AJAX response.

3.7.4 – 2026-08-12

• FIX – Scheduled automatic detection is now resilient. It reuses the same background-job engine as manual detection (locking, heartbeat, small bounded batches, retry with backoff and automatic revival of stalled jobs) instead of a single blocking loop that could exceed max_execution_time on larger sites and leave detection stuck partway. Same crawl scope as before; SEO capture during the scheduled crawl is preserved.

3.7.3 – 2026-08-12

• FIX – Divi: translation cache invalidation no longer deletes the _et_pb_use_builder / _et_builder_version post meta (structural Builder flags, not cache), which could collapse the page layout. Static-cache purge now runs only when a translation is actually saved, not on every translated page view.
• FIX – The front-end auto-translation API call is now capped at a 5-second timeout (admin/manual sends keep 60s) and a circuit breaker suspends it for 5 minutes after a network failure — an unreachable Tricot app can no longer freeze PHP workers and take the whole site down.
• SEC – The debug log is moved to an unguessable filename and the upload folder is protected with .htaccess + index.php; any legacy publicly-downloadable tricot_debug.log is removed on upgrade.
• FIX – Translations are now displayed normally when WP_DEBUG is enabled (they were previously served untranslated on debug/staging environments).

3.7.2 – 2026-08-12

• FIX – Refreshed French (Canada) and French (France) translations: strings added in the June releases (“Group formatted sentences” toggle, form-integration labels) were displayed in English. All three catalog formats (.po, .mo and the WordPress 6.5+ .l10n.php) are now in sync.

3.7.1 – 2026-06-10

• FIX – API errors (rate limiting, server errors, invalid responses) are now logged with the endpoint name instead of failing silently, making stuck translations and credit issues diagnosable.
• SEC – The translations export endpoint now requires administrator capabilities in addition to a valid license.
• SEC – License and API keys are now masked in the debug log files.

3.7.0 – 2026-06-10

• ADD – Glossary terms can now be edited in place, searched, filtered by target language and browsed page by page.
• ADD – “Force replace existing translations” now chains its batches automatically with a progress bar — no more re-clicking for each batch.
• ADD – Duplicate glossary terms are refused with a clear notice, and entries that could never match are flagged as inactive.
• FIX – Glossary matching no longer matches partial words (“cat” inside “catalogue”), which silently re-translated the same rows and consumed credits on every “Force replace”.
• FIX – Glossary detection now handles accented characters and casing consistently (“École” matches “école”).
• FIX – Glossary placeholders no longer get stuck when the translation service alters their casing.
• FIX – API calls now apply their intended 60-second timeout instead of WordPress’ 5-second default, preventing failed large translation batches.
• FIX – Refreshed French translation files; some translations added since March were silently not displayed.

3.6.11 – 2026-06-05

• FIX – Nested page URLs are now fully translated and resolve correctly. Every path segment is translated (parent pages, not just the final one), translated child URLs no longer return a 404, and old or source-language paths redirect to the translated URL. Works on /%postname%/ permalink sites with no manual permalink flush.
• ADD – Missing translated slugs are filled in automatically from the page’s translated title, so already-translated pages get translated URLs without editing each one. A slug set by hand in the page’s “URL management” box still takes precedence.

3.6.10 – 2026-05-21

• FIX – SEOPress internal logs (404 and bot records, URL metrics) are no longer picked up for translation, keeping the validation table and crawl queue clean.
• DEV – Tested up to WordPress 7.0.

3.6.9 – 2026-04-29

• FIX – Elementor pages no longer flash unstyled during translation.

3.6.8 – 2026-04-24

• FIX – Manually added translations for media and for new target languages now sync correctly to the Tricot app instead of staying local only.
• ADD – The front-end editor now also handles video and iframe URLs, editable in place like links and images.

3.6.7 – 2026-04-24

• MOD – “Clean stuck placeholders” tool moved to Advanced settings → Maintenance, and now available on every plan.
• FIX – Glossary “Force replace existing translations” now actually re-translates existing entries with the new glossary terms.

3.6.6 – 2026-04-24

• FIX – The validation table “Type” column is now stable when a string is captured by both the page scanner and a form/SEO integration.
• ADD – Anonymous-visitor throttle on auto-translation to keep traffic spikes from burning credits.
• ADD – Free-plan notice on the validation table explaining that empty rows are expected and detection keeps running.
• ADD – “Force replace existing translations” now processes large sites in safe batches.
• FIX – Form and consent-banner content containing HTML is now translated without breaking its markup.

3.6.5 – 2026-04-24

• ADD – New “Clean stuck placeholders” tool that finds and re-translates entries left with leftover glossary placeholder tokens.

3.6.4 – 2026-04-23

• FIX – Glossary placeholders no longer get stuck when a single batch spans several target languages.
• FIX – Gravity Forms: placeholders, labels, sub-fields and submit/next/previous buttons are now reliably translated.
• FIX – Detection and auto-translation now run for anonymous visitors, not just admins — form, SEO meta and ACF content is translated without waiting for an admin visit (can be restricted via TRICOT_ADMIN_ONLY_AUTO_TRANSLATE).
• FIX – Strings from third-party plugins (Gravity Forms, WPForms, Fluent Forms, Formidable, WooCommerce) are now included in translation instead of being dropped.
• ADD – The validation table “Type” filter now lists only the types actually present on your site.

3.6.3 – 2026-04-21

• ADD – New “Group formatted sentences” toggle (Advanced settings → Site indexing) to disable automatic grouping of inline-styled sentences on themes where it causes reordering.

3.6.2 – 2026-04-21

• FIX – Price widgets and similar inline-styled blocks (e.g. “15 $ / mois”) are no longer merged into one translation string, preserving numbers and currency placement.

3.6.1 – 2026-04-21

• ADD – Free 7-day trial with 3,000 credits and most Premium features — new option in the installation wizard, with countdown banner, automatic conversion to Pro/Premium on payment, and post-expiration retention window
• ADD – License expiration date now displayed next to the Active badge on the License activation page, plus new “Upgrade my license” button that redirects to the customer portal
• ADD – Credit management page redesigned with dynamic display of the 3 credit bundles available for the current plan
• ADD – Range selection (Shift+Click) on the Validation table and Links/Media table bulk-select checkboxes — standard file-manager behaviour
• ADD – Dedicated compatibility modules for Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All In One SEO, The SEO Framework, Slim SEO, SmartCrawl, Gravity Forms, WPForms, Formidable Forms, Fluent Forms, Elementor, Divi, The Events Calendar, Complianz (RGPD)

• ADD – Configurable detection cron frequency and start hour in Advanced settings — from every 30 minutes to once a day, with a 2 AM default to scan during off-peak hours
• ADD – Advanced ACF integration toggle (Advanced settings → ACF integration) for themes that read ACF values outside standard HTML rendering (REST API, JavaScript, Options Pages)
• ADD – Glossary now available on the Pro plan (previously Premium-only)
• MOD – Wizard pricing updated — PRO: $240/year, PREMIUM: $480/year (was $260 and $486)
• MOD – Menu label “Gestion du crédit” corrected to “Gestion des crédits” (plural)

• FIX – WordPress native spinners (inline edit save, media uploads, updates) no longer break due to a CSS class collision
• FIX – Yoast SEO and Gravity Forms integrations are now effectively loaded (previously dormant due to an initialization oversight)
• FIX – Conversion from trial to paid plan now correctly deducts credits consumed during the trial from the new plan’s pack
• FIX – “License partially converted — repair required” banner no longer stays displayed on already-converted licenses
• SEC – All new REST endpoints protected by license + API key validation on the public side, and manage_options capability on the administration side

3.5.12 – 2026-04-10

• FIX – SEOPress meta titles and descriptions are now captured during manual detection when “SEO content” is enabled in Manage Languages.
• FIX – The automatic language-switcher placement toggle now fully disables injection when unchecked.

3.5.11 – 2026-04-10

• FIX – Detection progress polling no longer aborts on the first transient network error. A consecutive-failure counter with exponential backoff (up to 30 seconds between retries) lets the detection resume automatically when the server recovers. The polling only surrenders after 10 consecutive failures (about 2 minutes of sustained disconnection)
• FIX – AJAX polling requests now have a 60-second timeout instead of the jQuery default, accommodating slow servers that occasionally need longer to respond during heavy detection batches
• MOD – Detection error counter is reset at the start of a new manual detection run and after every successful poll, so brief hiccups don’t accumulate across sessions

3.5.10 – 2026-04-10

• ADD – New Tricot::ui_excluded_post_types() helper and tricot_ui_excluded_post_types filter centralizing the list of custom post types hidden from selection menus (wizard, indexation, manage languages, crawler)
• FIX – SEOPress meta title and meta description translation filters (seopress_titles_title, seopress_titles_desc) are now guaranteed to run regardless of the SEOPress 404/bot custom post type exclusions — the CPT filters only hide entries from user selection UIs and never block the filter-based integration
• MOD – CPT exclusions (elementor_library, e-floating-buttons, seopress_404, seopress_bot) are now sourced from a single list in the core class instead of being hardcoded in 6 separate files, preventing drift and making the list extensible via filter

3.5.9 – 2026-04-10

• ADD – New “Migrated” option in the status filter of the validation table, export modal and validation request modal, letting administrators quickly isolate translations imported from the Tricot Migration plugin
• ADD – New “migrated” localized string in tricotValidation JavaScript strings

• ADD – Import recognizes “Migrated” as a validation state and preserves it on round-trips
• MOD – Validation filter “Validated” now includes state 4 (migrated) alongside states 1 and 3
• MOD – Validation statistics count migrated translations as validated
• FIX – User interaction with a migrated toggle (uncheck then recheck) correctly downgrades the state from 4 to 1 (user-validated)
