The Wordchuck Blog.

by Shelly

Over the last month, we've been busy gathering feedback from our awesome beta users (and fixing a few bugs). As a result, we're excited to announce the launch of several new features:

"Translation Summary" page

• See the status of your translations for each language
• See at a glance which languages still need human translation
• Submit all remaining machine translations for a language to professionals

"Translation Details" page

• Lists all translations for a language, for each status (for example, review all of the translations completed by your invited translators.)
• Click to make changes.

The Wordchuck API

• Our new API allows anyone to use Wordchuck to internationalize their website, mobile app, or software.
• Documentation is underway, but hasn't been posted yet. In the meantime, please if you need instructions, and we'll get you everything you need.
• We'll make a separate announcement with details and documentation as soon as we're ready.

Library of Common Terms

• We've launched our Library of professionally-translated words and phrases that are commonly used on websites and apps -- things like buttons, menu items, labels, etc. We're getting these items professionally translated and making them available to you for free!
• It's all automatic - when you create or update content, we'll check to see if the translations already exist in our library and instantly populate those that do. This feature should save everyone a bunch of money, AND improve the translation quality of your site (especially if you're starting off with only machine translations).
• We're constantly adding to the library, so please if you'd like something added.

Library of Localized Formats

• Similar in concept to our Library of Common Terms, our new Library of locale-specific formats includes things like dates, times, currencies and more. The library is human-translated, and exists for 28 languages so far. Details are posted here.
• And you know the drill: if there's a locale you'd like added to the library, just .

Performance Improvements & Bug Fixes

• We're running faster and better than ever. Of course, in true startup form, there are still a few things in the queue to be fixed.
• If you run into anything, and we'll shift priorities to get on it.
