Release notes

View the history of B2TRANSLATE releases with key points and major updates highlighted

B2TRANSLATE now includes a notification center. A bell at the bottom of the sidebar shows a badge with your unread count and opens a panel with your most recent notifications, such as a finished AI translation, a ready export, or a completed import. Open All notifications to see the full history, and mark notifications as read individually or all at once.

Notifications can also be delivered outside the app — to Email, Slack, or Telegram. A workspace administrator sets up these channels and chooses who receives each type of event.

Account settings page

A new Account item in the sidebar opens a dedicated Settings page that gathers your personal options into one place, with tabs for Personal API tokens and Change password.

Improvements

Change your own password

You can now change your sign-in password yourself from Account > Change password, without contacting an administrator.

The controls for the interface language, notifications, and signing out have moved to the bottom of the sidebar for quicker access. Personal API tokens are now managed on the new Account > Settings page, replacing the former profile menu.

Resolved issues

There have been no customer-facing issues reported in this release.

Improvements

Modernized interface

The B2TRANSLATE interface has been rebuilt on a modern technology stack. Everything you use stays exactly where it was — the update refreshes the foundation of the interface and paves the way for faster delivery of new features.

May 14, 2026

Improvements

Tenant language management for the Customer role

Users with the Customer role can now manage the list of languages on their tenant directly from the Edit project modal — add or remove languages without requesting help from an administrator.

To prevent accidental changes, the tenant name field is now read-only for Customer users.

April 29, 2026

New features

Translation version history

Every translation key now keeps an audit trail of the last 10 destination values per language. From the translation view, open the history dialog to see who changed a translation, when, and what the previous value was — and restore any earlier version with a single click. This protects translations from accidental edits and AI overrides.

Improvements

Personal API Tokens — custom expiration

When you create or rotate a Personal API Token, you can now pick the exact expiration date through a calendar picker, up to one year ahead. This replaces the previous fixed presets and aligns with enterprise security policies that require periodic credential rotation.

New languages: Hebrew and Mongolian

Hebrew is now available with full right-to-left (RTL) support, and Mongolian is added with the correct plural forms. Both languages are immediately available in every project and ready for AI translation.

March 31, 2026

New features

Personal API Tokens

B2TRANSLATE now supports Personal API Tokens — a new authentication method for programmatic API access. Users can generate long-lived tokens to integrate B2TRANSLATE with external tools and automation workflows without sharing their login credentials.

Generate and manage personal tokens from the Profile page
Tokens support all V2 API endpoints
Configurable token expiration: 1, 6, 12, or 24 hours
Revoke tokens at any time for security

March 17, 2026

New features

Custom language ordering

You can now customize the order in which languages appear across your project. Open the Language order modal from the three-dot menu on the Projects page or from within a project, and then drag and drop languages into your preferred sequence. The custom order is applied to language dropdowns and lists throughout the project.

To revert to the default alphabetical order, click Reset to default in the modal.

February 10, 2026

New features

Compact mode

A new Compact mode toggle has been added to the Profile menu, giving you the ability to reduce spacing and density across all UI components. This option provides a more condensed interface for those who prefer to view more content on their screen at once.

Improvements

BCP 47 language support

B2TRANSLATE now supports the BCP 47 standard for language codes, providing more precise language identification and regional variant handling. The system maintains backward compatibility with legacy format codes in the translations endpoint, ensuring existing integrations continue to work seamlessly. Each language in the languages table now includes a descriptive label for better clarity.

Unified search and filters

Search input fields and filter controls have been standardized across all system pages, providing a consistent user experience throughout the platform. This unified approach makes it easier to locate and filter content regardless of which page you're working on.

Resolved issues

There have been no customer-facing issues reported in this release.

January 13, 2026

Improvements

AI model upgrade

B2TRANSLATE has upgraded its AI translation engine from Chat GPT 4.0 to Chat GPT 5.2, delivering improved translation quality and enhanced performance across all supported languages.

Enhanced search with keyboard shortcuts

Navigation has been streamlined with the addition of keyboard shortcuts for quick search access. Users can now press ⌘/ (Ctrl+/) and ⌘K (Ctrl+K) to instantly open the search functionality, making it faster to locate keys and navigate through projects.

Resolved issues

There have been no customer-facing issues reported in this release.

December 12, 2025

Improvements

Redesigned Translations page

The Translations page has been reorganized for a clearer view and smoother editing experience:

Key identifiers now occupy separate rows and include category badges and last‑updated timestamps.
Translation columns have clearer labels and each displays a language badge, so you always see which language you are editing.
Actions such as Translate with AI, Reset to source translation, and Save as empty are grouped under intuitive icons for easier discovery and use.
Global controls — language selector, search field, filter panel, key import, and CSV upload — are consistently placed and easier to find.

Resolved issues

There have been no customer-facing issues reported in this release.

September 30, 2025

Improvements

This release introduces comprehensive default translations across various languages and empowers administrators with automated bulk translation capabilities via ChatGPT integration, streamlining localization workflows and accelerating global deployment.

September 10, 2025

New features

Pluralization support

B2TRANSLATE now includes comprehensive pluralization support, enabling accurate translation of quantity-dependent strings across all languages. This feature addresses the critical need for handling strings that change based on quantity, such as "1 file" versus "3 files", which is particularly important for languages with complex plural rules.

The system intelligently detects when pluralization is required based on the combination of key format and target language. When pluralization is needed, B2TRANSLATE automatically generates multiple input fields for each key according to the Unicode rules for plural forms. Each form includes contextual labels that explain proper usage, such as "one," "few," or "many," helping translators understand when each form should be applied. This feature is fully compatible with AI translations.

For more details, see Handle plural forms.

All existing non-pluralized strings remain fully functional, ensuring complete backward compatibility with current projects and workflows.

Improvements

Clearer hierarchy of translations

Managing default and custom translations has become more intuitive. The padlock icon has been removed, its functionality has been replaced by more declarative options: Reset to default and Save as empty. The tooltip in the Translation field indicates which default translation is currently used in the WebUI.

The project interface has been redesigned to provide better visibility and more flexible organization of translation keys. Previously, Categories were mandatory and could hide certain keys from view. Now, the system displays the complete list of all project keys by default, giving translators immediate access to their entire translation scope.

Categories have been repositioned as optional filtering tools while maintaining their automatic assignment functionality. Translators can now work with any key regardless of its category assignment. This improvement is particularly beneficial for maintaining translation consistency, as similar keys are now visible together in the unified list rather than potentially hidden across different category sections. When needed, category filters can still be applied to narrow down the key list for focused work.

Additionally, the translation pages have been reorganized for more clear structure and display:

Default translations have been grouped to a single column.
Language icons have been added.
Information on when a key was added or updated has been moved to key details.

Resolved issues

There have been no customer-facing issues reported in this release.

August 4, 2025

Improvements

This release is dedicated to behind-the-scenes improvements that benefit our platform administrators. While there aren't any new features for you this time, these updates help ensure everything runs smoothly.

June 27, 2025

New features

Platforms

This release introduces a new platform entity. Platforms are separate buckets inside products, such as Web, iOS, Android. Each platform has its own set of categories, while all platforms within a product share the same set of languages. Currently, this feature is enabled exclusively for the b2core product type.

Platforms are added and configured by Admins. If a project has only one platform, the user experience remains unchanged. However, if multiple platforms are added, corresponding tabs appear on the Categories page and users must first select a platform before providing translations.

Improvements

Internal improvement: A new endpoint has been added to update a list of languages in the language selection modal on the Translations page.

Resolved issues

Fixed an issue with key search in categories.

May 20, 2025

New features

Translation Download/Upload functionality

With this release, we've implemented the Download/Upload functionality for translations. You can now export selected translations for a specific language in CSV format for external editing. Once edited, you can upload the CSV back to B2TRANSLATE, allowing for quicker and easier bulk updates and management of the translations. Additionally, the system will provide messages indicating the success or failure of an export/import attempt.

For details, see the article.

Copy buttons for keys

To further improve user interaction, we have added a copy button next to each key name on the Translations page. This update provides you with the ability to effortlessly copy the full key name to the clipboard. The copy button is accompanied by a visual confirmation to indicate a successful copy action. This functionality is compatible across major web browsers including Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, ensuring a consistent user experience.

RTL/LTR cursor for Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu languages

The translation handling has been enhanced by the support for both right-to-left (RTL) and left-to-right (LTR) languages in the editor. The text direction now automatically adjusts based on the selected language, optimizing text display without distortion. The movement of the cursor and text selection is smooth for all directions, and these improvements are seamlessly incorporated without affecting pre-existing editor capabilities. This update guarantees robust text management for all supported languages, providing you with an intuitive translation experience.

Resolved issues

Fixed an issue where icons weren’t displayed correctly in the Firefox browser.

March 26, 2025

New features

AI translations with ChatGPT

With this release, we've upgraded our integration with ChatGPT to enable AI translations for users. Note that this feature isn’t enabled by default and must be explicitly requested per project. Using AI for translations is limited: for each project utilizing ChatGPT integration, a monthly credit is provided, AI translation costs are automatically deducted from this allocated balance.

AI translations are available for all project languages, excluding the default language (usually English). This feature translates the Default translation (EN) to your selected language and adds it to the Translation field. For more details, see Translate with AI.

New Customer role

The new user role, Customer, has been added. It’s similar to the former Editor role, but expands functionality by providing access to AI-powered translations.

All users currently assigned the Editor role will seamlessly transition to the Customer role, whether or not the AI translation feature is activated within their respective projects.

Improvements

To enhance user experience and navigation efficiency, search fields have been added across all dropdowns. This allows users to swiftly locate specific items within extensive lists, streamlining overall interaction.
The user avatar icon has been added to the topbar. By hovering over it, you can access your email and role information alongside the Log out button. The language select has been removed from the topbar, but remains available within the main menu.

Resolved issues

There have been no customer-facing issues reported in this release.

February 11, 2025

New features

Enhanced security

With this release, two-factor authentication (2FA) has been updated to require authenticator apps, such as Google Authenticator as the primary option and Twilio Authy as an alternative for users in regions where Google Authenticator may be unavailable.

When signing in to B2TRANSLATE, you’ll now be prompted to set up an authenticator app to generate 2FA codes by following the on-screen instructions. For security reasons, you’ll be requested to enter a code from the app each time you sign in after providing your credentials.

Resolved issues

There have been no customer-facing issues reported in this release.
