What’s New In The Platform

​
On-Prem Features and Security Updates

​
LILT Translate

​
Improved Tag Projection

We are excited to announce updates to our tag projection functionality, which improves the overall quality of tag projection and allows linguists to spend less time on adjustment. Previously, tags were projected by computing a word alignment on the tag-stripped source/target using a variant of our V1 models, then used a rule-based approach to transfer tags based on word alignments. With this new update, tags are projected using a single, multilingual projection model that directly generates the target sentence with tags, without the detour through word alignment. For more information on our Research Team’s work on tag projection, see this article.

​
Domains

LILT’s new Domains feature enhances workflow segmentation, allowing organizations to create distinct operational areas within LILT. By assigning resources such as users, models, and preferences to specific domains, administrators can customize experiences to improve productivity, focus, and data privacy for each user group. What’s New?
  1. Customizable Domains
    • Domains allow administrators to segment LILT by operational areas, facilitating tailored experiences across teams or departments.
  2. Enhanced User Personalization
    • Users can switch between assigned domains, with interfaces updating to reflect models, file loaders, and translation jobs associated with the active domain.
  3. Advanced Administrative Control
    • Administrators can set up, manage, and delete domains, assigning specific resources such as users, models, and preferences.
    • Default languages, workflows, and file loaders can be specified per domain.
  4. Domain-Specific Analytics and Job Filtering
    • Analytics and job management views are filtered based on the active domain, making it easier for users and admins to manage tasks and track progress relevant to their domain.

​
Assign Domains as Secondary Reviewers

We are excited to announce updated assignment functionality where project opportunities can be presented to multiple Secondary Reviewers. With this update, Secondary Reviewers identify which languages they support in their profile, and are then assigned to domains. We can then assign a domain as a Secondary Reviewer, which would share the opportunity with all those qualified and Secondary Reviewers can accept projects based on their availability. For more information, please visit /kb/customer-review#SecondaryReview-SecondaryReviewerassignmentsthroughdomains. Please note: This feature is in beta and will be available for all orgs in early November. If you would like to use this feature before then, please reach out to your Account Team to learn more.

Additional Data in Concordance search and Data Source Download

Concordance searches now display additional data: Creation date, Updated date, Created by (name/email), Updated by (name/email), and the file name from which it was created. This allows users to understand who accepted and confirmed segments into their data sources. Only those with the User Visibility permission set are allowed to see the names and emails of those who created or updated the entry. This data is now also available for managers and admins in the Data Source download.

​
Recently Used Language Options

We are excited to introduce a feature improvement to our language dropdown menu that shows customers their most recently used languages when submitting projects for translation. Previously, customers needed to search for languages every time they went to submit new projects. With this update, their recently used languages are more accessible.

​
Updated Default Roles - Customer, and Customer + LILT Create

To better reflect the needs of our platform customers, we’ve updated LILT’s default roles so there are two customer roles - Customer, and Customer + LILT Create. This differentiates which users have LILT Create permissions. Both of these roles also had the “User visibility” permission revoked so as to not reveal sensitive information. For more details, please reference /kb/default-roles.

​
Customer Review is now Secondary Review

We’ve updated our product verbiage to better reflect our customers’ workflows, and we’ve renamed the Customer Review stage to Secondary Review.

​

​
Contentful x LILT Connector Updates:

Support for Rich Text Embedding We are introducing a new feature for the Contentful x LILT connector to better support embedded entries within Rich Text fields. With this update, the connector will automatically recognize and include embedded entries in the translation process, just like linked entries. This enhancement will eliminate the need for manual intervention, ensuring a smoother and more efficient localization workflow for content that includes embedded assets. Default Locale We are working on an update to address issues with the Contentful x LILT connector for customers using a default locale other than en-US. Currently, when a customer’s default locale is set to a different variant, such as en, the connector does not operate as expected. While a force extract is possible, it does not allow for content to be sent organically using this source language, and the workflow statuses in Contentful are not updated properly. This update will ensure the connector can seamlessly handle non-en-US default locales, allowing for efficient content management and status updates, even at scale with multiple stakeholders involved. Auto-Publish Upon Delivery We are introducing a new feature in the Contentful x LILT connector that allows content to be automatically published upon delivery from LILT to Contentful. With this option, once translations are completed and delivered back into Contentful, the content can be immediately published without requiring manual intervention. This streamlines the content publishing process, saving time and ensuring quicker go-to-market for localized content.

​
LILT x Shopify Connector Updates:

  • Shopify - Feature to Select Only Active Products
    • Added an option to filter and select only active products within the Shopify connector. This improvement enhances the user experience by allowing more granular control over product selection during the translation process.
  • LILT Shopify App Not Showing Metaobjects
    • Fixed a bug where metaobjects were not being displayed in the True Classic LILT Shopify App. This correction ensures that all relevant data is visible to users, improving the user experience.
  • Adjust All Products Filtering
  • Enhanced the product filtering capabilities to provide more comprehensive options within the Shopify connector. The improvements include:
    • Product Count: Added a count of available products within each section for better visibility and management.
    • Filter Updates: Changed the filter label from “All Active Products” to “All Products” to reflect the inclusion of all product statuses.
    • Selection Options: Introduced new filtering options, allowing users to select between “All Active,” “All Archived,” and “All Draft” products, offering more granular control over product data management.
  • Shopify Connector Import Issues
    • Addressed urgent issues related to product import functionality within the Shopify Connector. This critical fix resolves import errors that were affecting data synchronization.

    • Added a new feature to export products based on tags in the Shopify Connector. This functionality enables more targeted data exports, enhancing the ability to manage and utilize product data.

​
LILT x S3 Connector Updates

  • Duplicate Projects Created During Connector Job
    • Fixed an issue where duplicate projects were being created during connector jobs. This correction ensures that only a single project is generated per job, preventing redundancy and reducing confusion in project management.
  • Expand S3 to Select Source Based on a Directory Path
    • Enhanced the S3 storage-based connector to allow users to select the source based on a specific directory path. This update provides greater flexibility in defining the source data, making it easier to manage large datasets within S3.
  • Add Ability to Create/Set a File-Level Metadata Field When Returning Target Files
    • Introduced the ability to create or set metadata fields at the file level when returning target files. This enhancement allows users to attach custom metadata to files, enabling better organization and retrieval of data within S3.
  • Allow the S3 connector to Use a Different Bucket for Outputs
    • Updated the rclone-based S3 connector to support using a different bucket for output files. This feature provides more control over where processed data is stored, improving flexibility in managing output destinations.
