The release notes summarize the changes introduced over the previous week.

  • Quality Profiles now show an "Omitted" status with an explanation for AI checks that can't run
  • Braze connector content block listing now uses correct pagination and fetches up to 1000 items per request, reducing the number of API calls needed

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed: malformed closing tags in Next Gen MT output were rendered as broken placeholders instead of proper tag icons
  • Fixed: dropped-tag placeholders in Next Gen MT tag-repair output appeared in the wrong order
  • Fixed: switching a BYO engine's authentication mode between Header and OAuth on the setup screen showed incorrect field labels and failed validation until saved and reopened
  • Fixed: Portal's MT profile selector showed missing and duplicate profiles compared to what was configured in TMS
  • Fixed: Phrase Language AI via API's project creation could fail with an error when the calling user has the Linguist role
  • Fixed: the CAT editor Resources panel did not show a default style guide assigned to a project as a resource
  • Fixed: "Set as default" on a language-specific style guide had no visible effect on other languages
  • Fixed: "Search across projects" returned zero results for completed jobs even when matching content existed
  • Fixed: Contentful connector change-detection scans ignored the configured reference depth, contributing to excessively long scans
  • Fixed: Contentful connector import treated an Array field's item-count limit as a character-length restriction
  • Fixed: WordPress connector read outdated post date, revision ID, and size from a stale autosave revision instead of the live post, which could block job creation for newly added languages
  • Fixed: Amazon S3 connector could flag files as changed based on timestamp alone, causing unnecessary reimports
  • Fixed: the spellchecker flagged valid abbreviations (e.g. "esim.") as misspelled
  • Fixed: vendor users could not restore analyses they created in a shared project from the recycle bin
  • Fixed: automated project creation (APC) analyses could show "Data not available" for jobs that still existed in the project
  • Fixed: importing a malformed translation memory Excel file could crash the import instead of showing a clean error
  • Fixed: an incorrect Japanese translation for the welcome message
  • Fixed: the in-app notification for exceeding a translation memory limit lacked proper formatting
  • Fixed: the project template edit page could unexpectedly jump back to "Project details" after clicking another section
  • Fixed: the Submitter Portal submission page could spin indefinitely for Linguist/PM users instead of showing an access-denied message
  • Fixed: dark-theme backgrounds for legacy dialogs still used light-theme images
  • Fixed: Atlas AI agent's search failed to match compound search terms like "importSettings" against relevant API documentation
  • Fixed: Atlas AI agent gave an incorrect explanation for a workflow import error instead of guidance on importing via the API
  • Fixed: organization admins could still be unable to create service accounts
  • Fixed: Strings invitations rejected due to seat limits were stored incorrectly, causing them to fail again on retry
  • Fixed: the Strings seats API omitted the seat limit in certain configurations, causing the UI to incorrectly offer a retry option
  • Fixed: the Asian (CJK) language selector on the login/signup page rendered language names vertically instead of horizontally
