Translator Plugin Pro 5.0 Update

Translator Plugin Pro 5.0 has been fully tested and ready for release. The final step before the release is completing the documentation. Translator 5.0 is focussed on providing enterprise grade robustness and automatic recovery capability in case of failures. The product has been re-designed and tons of new features have been added. Some of the key new features are:
1. New robust, low resource consuming ultra-fast caching engine. It incorporates advanced second generation caching algorithms (forget wp-cache) to reduce the load on your site and translation engines, thereby increasing availability and speed of serving translated pages.
2. Statistics on translated page views and cache performance
3. API to exclude sections from translated pages and also to include content only in translated pages based on popular demand
4. Advanced load distribution feature to prevent overloading translation engines which ensures significantly better availability on high load sites
5. New languages & new translation engine
6. Robust handling of errors from translation engines
7. Protects your site from overloading by robots and automated user agents
8. Failover support; when a translation engine fails to translate, new engine is automatically given the task. It continues till we can provide a translation or we run out of translation engines.
9. Simplified user interface. The options panel has been broken into basic and advanced tabs. Each tab has been sub-categorized into different groups of options. The overall look is much nicer and easier to use and configure.

There are lots of other features which I will describe in the future posts in this week and next. Translator 5.0 comes with a new infrastructure which will allow us to provide two most exciting features in version 6.0. Translator 5.0 will be the basis of our new product - Translator for Web, a product to provide robust automatic machine translation capability to any web sites.

We will also release limited copies of translator plugin with all 32 languages enabled as on this site. Existing customers will be given a preference, so book your copies now.

This time around we will provide documentation in HTML as well as PDF format. Existing customers are requested to white-list my email address so you can receive your updates without any problem. Updates will be provided to existing customers within 15 days of public release.
