Ever since Invision Community 4.0, there has been a huge focus on making communities multi-lingual by providing translation features inside the AdminCP.
We have received a lot of feedback on our multi-lingual and translation tools over the past year, and we're happy to announce these new features coming to Invision Community 4.5.
Pages Phrase Tools
If you have the Pages application, you can also use these phrases in HTML pages and HTML Blocks without needing to visit the translation tools area. Simply use the tag editor in the sidebar when editing a page or block's contents.
The new phrases sidebar options
You can quickly create new multi-lingual phrases by clicking the + icon.
The new add phrase dialog
Additionally, WYSIWYG Blocks have now been made translatable, so you can now create WYSIWYG blocks that will display their content in specific languages.
Translation Tools
Language pack creators can now set a version update URL which is checked to notify admins within the AdminCP that an update available, just like the theme system. This is a great way to notify customers when fixes are available.
Finally, you can now quickly add a new phrase from the Translation Tools page without the need to use the developer tools.
The new "Add Phrase" option
These little changes should make a huge difference in your workflow, and make it easier than ever to create fully multi-lingual pages throughout your site.
