    Fixed Bugs

    v26.4 - February 24, 2026

    New Features and Improvements

    • CAT web editor is now aligned with international accessibility standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

      Main areas of improvement and impact:

      • Interactive elements follow a logical order

        Enables predictable navigation, improves usability for keyboard and assistive technology users, and reduces cognitive load.

      • Selected elements display a clear focus indicator

        Allows users to easily track their position on the screen, increasing confidence and reducing navigation errors.

      • Most actions can be completed without using a mouse

        Ensures full functionality for keyboard-only users and people with motor impairments, supporting equitable access.

      • Focus remains within modals/pop-ups until closed and reliably returns to the triggering element

        Maintains user context, prevents disorientation, and improves overall task efficiency.

    Fixed Bugs

    • Joined view could not be opened when working with large files, blocking access to jobs in some projects. This has been fixed.

    • The search and filter function sometimes showed unrelated results when working with joined jobs, especially before refreshing the page. This has been fixed.

    • The same emoji was being copied to all repeated segments, even when different emojis were used. This has been fixed.

    • The Copy text option in the More languages tab was sometimes greyed out for no reason. This has been fixed.

    v26.3 - February 18, 2026

    New Features and Improvements

    • Results of post-editing services (edited segments by Auto Adapt and edited and estimated by MT Optimize) are now visualized in the CAT web editor.

    Fixed Bugs

    • Japanese input was duplicating or disappearing when overwriting a selected text. This has been fixed.

    • Tag metadata was being incorrectly exported when updateCloudSegments.json was called. This has been fixed.

    • Linguists with no edit source rights could not confirm segments with formatting tags in sources. This has been fixed.

    • The editor icons were incorrectly arranged after the window was halved. This has been fixed.

    • The active segment was occasionally switching back to another one under an applied filter. This has been fixed.
