LangRelay

Changelog

1.9.5

• Fix: language switcher chevron now sits inline next to the flag/language name. The 1.9.4 button reset (display: contents) inadvertently broke the default row layout of the customizable select; explicitly making the select an inline-flex row restores it.

1.9.4

• Fix: language switcher’s inner trigger button now correctly resets against page-builder themes. With appearance: base-select, the browser renders a <button> inside the <select> that themes like Elementor were re-styling (red background, uppercase text). The 1.9.3 fix scoped the <select> styles but missed this inner button. Now explicitly resets it with all: unset; display: contents at higher specificity.

1.9.3

• Fix: language switcher styles now beat aggressive page-builder themes (Elementor, Divi, etc.) by scoping selectors under .langrelay-switcher for higher specificity. Also explicitly resets text-transform, letter-spacing, font-weight, and text-align so themes that style bare button elements no longer leak through.

1.9.2

• Security: escape hreflang and canonical output with wp_kses().
• Security: use wp_add_inline_script() for translation preloading instead of raw script injection.
• Security: eliminate unescaped full-page echo by using ob_start() callback.
• Improvement: rename all transient prefixes from lr_ to langrelay_ for consistency.
• Fix: stale mock prefix in cache purge test after transient rename.

1.9.1

• Security: use wp_safe_redirect() for auto language redirects.
• Security: remove token preview from debug REST endpoint.
• Security: remove unused debug token authentication methods.
• Improvement: bundle country flag SVGs locally instead of loading from external CDN.

1.9.0

• WordPress.org plugin review compliance: removed “WordPress” trademark from display name, fixed Plugin URI, properly sanitize all settings fields in register_setting callback, and explicitly close output buffer via shutdown hook.
• New: setup wizard now lets you select an existing organization and project instead of requiring a new one.
• Removed debug panel from setup wizard.

1.8.1

• Fix: languages added in the LangRelay dashboard now auto-sync to WordPress via a project.updated webhook event.
• New: manual “Sync” button in the Project Status card to pull the latest project settings (languages, source language) from the dashboard on demand.
• Improvement: existing installs automatically reconcile their webhook subscription on the next admin page load to include the new project.updated event.

1.8.0

• Dynamic content translation: modals, AJAX panels, and client-rendered content (React, Vue, Svelte) now translate without flickering or invisible text.
• Performance: client-side translations are cached in localStorage with automatic version-based invalidation when you edit translations in the dashboard.
• Performance: first batch of dynamic text translates immediately (no 300ms debounce delay on initial render).
• New: server-side translation map is pre-loaded into the client SDK, so shared strings translate instantly from cache.
• New: debug logging via ?langrelay_debug=1 query param or data-debug="true" on the script tag for troubleshooting.

1.7.1

• Fix: script blocks containing HTML string literals (e.g. WooCommerce gallery scripts building <a> and <img> tags in JavaScript) are no longer corrupted by the URL rewriter. DOMDocument now skips script and style blocks during URL rewriting.
• Fix: translation matching is now case-insensitive. Menu items and other text styled with CSS text-transform (e.g. “wallcoverings” in HTML displayed as “Wallcoverings” via CSS) now match translations regardless of casing.

1.7.0

• Email translation: outgoing WordPress emails (wp_mail) can now be translated to the recipient’s language. Enable under Settings > LangRelay.
• WooCommerce email integration: order confirmations and other WooCommerce emails are automatically translated when email translation is enabled.
• Batch translation API: new translate_batch() method for translating plain text strings without HTML overhead.
• URL slug routing fix: translated URL slugs are now reverse-translated before WordPress routing, fixing 404s on translated permalink slugs.
• Bundled client JavaScript locally instead of loading from an external server.
• Various wp.org Plugin Check compliance fixes.

1.6.0

• Language switcher block, Elementor widget, and shortcode now support display override attributes (show flags, show names, use native names)
• Added [langrelay_switcher] shortcode for placing the switcher in classic themes and page builders
• Cleaned up admin settings: removed unused switcher fields, added dashboard link and status indicator
• Auto-inject toggle now properly controls whether the switcher script loads
• Org slug persisted during OAuth for dashboard deep links
