Kmel-Joomla Extensions is pleased to announce the immediate availability of KMFasTrans PRO 2.2.1 for Joomla versions 2.5 and 3.2. Please install this version as soon as possible.
KMFasTrans PRO version 2.2.1 is a release to fix the following bugs:
Fixed bugs:
1. The inconsistencies detection process detects erroneously an inconsistency if the id of translated item is lower than the id of the source element.
2. The list of menu items on the Translation Management Dashboard screen is not correctly ordered according to its hierarchical structure.
3. The installation process does not remove some files that should be removed. As a consequence tags are not saved when editing an item containing tags in Joomla 3.x
Kmel-Joomla Extensions is pleased to announce the immediate availability of KMFasTrans PRO 2.2.0 for Joomla versions 2.5 and 3.2 (Please note that 2.2.0 version is not compatible with Joomla versions below 2.5).
KMFasTrans PRO version 2.2.0 contains the following new features:
This version allows the translation of 'tags' in the same way as any other native Joomla component, including automatic filling of fields 'tag' in the translation of the elements that support them, as well as the detection of inconsistencies.
When you translate an item you can access the version control available in Joomla 3.2 without leaving the KMFasTrans editing screen. This allows to create new versions, compare versions, delete old versions and restore versions, all without leaving KMFasTrans.
In previous releases you could do a search for category name. This version has been replaced that by a categories dropdown list so you can choose an existing category. The dropdown list is sensitive to the language selected in '- Select "From" Language -'. If a language is selected, the dropdown list will only show categories whose language equals the selected language.
In almost all screens in which is necessary to show a language, the language flag image is shown with a 'tip' which also shows the language title. This saves space and facilitates the reading.
In the languages tabs of the translation editing screen the flag image is now shown along with the title of the language. This option allows you to hide the title of the language and leave only the flag image, thus saving the space occupied by the title. This is useful when working with large number of languages simultaneously.
Fixed bugs:
1.Show appropriate texts for inconsistencies of type 'Not equal to the source'.
Joomla 2.5.16 has changed the way URLs are computed. This has impacted the way KMFT language switcher module works resulting in weird URLs in some cases. To correct this, please download and install patch "FasTrans_patch_131108-2.1.2" from Downloads->KMFasTrans PRO->Patches KMFasTrans PRO downloads section.
Joomla 3.2.0 has been released but KMFasTrans still does not support this version. In a few days we will publish a new KMFasTrans version that will support Joomla 3.2.0, but until then, if you have installed KMFasTrans in Joomla 3.1.x, please do not upgrade to version 3.2.0 or install KMFasTrans in Joomla 3.2.0 beacause it will not work.

New features
A few days ago the Google translator interface we were using in KMFasTrans stopped working and it's not possible to use it any more. Instead, this version implements support for the Microsoft Bing translation service which is currently the only one that is free up to 2 million characters per month. Later on we will also implement the Google translate paid service for those who prefer this translator.
Instructions for registering and using the Bing translator are in User Manual: Configuration chapter
A new button "Translate All" is available in the edit screen. Clicking this button will translate the contents of all translatable texts in one go. It's like clicking all buttons 'Translate' at once.
This is a KMFasTrans configuration option. Using this option you can choose to perform a special process for the translation of strings contained within the selected tags. If for example you choose '{ }', it indicates that all the content after the opening tag '{' and before the closing tag '}', will be subject to a special process.
In the current version the only special process available is 'No translation', which means that the original content will be preserved after translation.
More info in User Manual: Configuration chapter
Fixed bugs:
1. Show the appropriate image for each language when the first two characters of the image prefix are identical (eg pt and pt_br).
2. Do not open a new window or tab by clicking on a source language in the edit form.
3. Do not show item associations for unpublished languages or for elements that do not support them.
4. Show the current value of the item associations correctly for every item in the edit form.
5. Check that the Default Home Menu Item for language All (Menu Item-All), if it exists, is really a default home.
6. T3 Framework based templates loose some editing toolbar buttons in certain circumstances.

New features
This version contains a new module that places a link to the screen 'Translations Management Dashboard' to the right of the administration menu. This way the main KMFasTrans management screen can be reached from anywhere with a single click. The module is published and positioned in the 'menu' position by default the first time you install this version. Then you can unpublish it, and if done, it will not be published when installing new versions.
This module inserts a drop-down list of languages to the right of the administration menu to translate elements from the Joomla item listing or from the Joomla edit form. The module is published and positioned in the 'menu' position by default the first time you install this version. Then you can unpublish it, and if done, it will not be published when installing new versions. You can consult the documentation in User Manual - Productivity Tools
A 'New' button is available in the toolbar of the screen 'Translations Management Dashboard'. Pressing the button redirects to the Joomla native editing form with some preselected parameters. You can consult the documentation in User Manual - Productivity Tools
From this version, if the field 'position' of a module in a specific language has a different value to the source module in the reference language will cause a translation inconsistency.
The KMFasTrans installed version is now displayed on the title of any KMFasTrans screen.
In all the places where the module type is shown, it's now displayed on the default Administration Language.
The filter for extension, menu and module type on the Translation Management Dashboard has been changed to a dropdown list. In Joomla 2.5 the new dropdown list is located at the same place than the filter but in Joomla 3.1 it's located on the left sidebar.
Fixed bugs:
1. The language is truncated to seven characters in the lists obtained when pressing the button 'View Last Report' on the 'Verify Inconsistencies' screen.
2. In Joomla 2.5, if the PHP setting "magic_quotes_sgc" is set to "on" all the quotes, double quotes and backslashes are preceded by a backslash when saving any text string. (In Joomla 3.1 is a requirement that "magic_quotes_sgc" is set to "off".
3. In Joomla 2.5, on the KMFasTrans articles editing screen, categories assigned to Language 'All' are not shown.
4. Several Joomla language strings used by KMFasTrans, that were deleted in Joomla 3.1.4., are now added
5. Sometimes you get messages saying "Could not load JToolbarButton ..." for the buttons 'Copy All' and 'Hide Left Side'.
6. In Joomla 3.1, in the template editing screen you get the message 'Warning: simplexml_load_file () [function.simplexml-load-file]: I / O warning: failed to load external entity'.
7. In Joomla 3.1.5, some dropdown lists are not displayed correctly on the menu items editing screen.
Kmel-Joomla Extensions is pleased to announce the immediate availability of KMFasTrans PRO 2.0.0 for Joomla versions 2.5 and 3.x (Please note that 2.0.0 version is not compatible with Joomla versions below 2.5).
The release 2.0.0 PRO is the first release to support both Joomla versions, 2.5 and 3.x.
This release can be installed on both versions of Joomla, 25 and 3.x. If you plan to upgrade Joomla from version 2.5 to version 3.x, it is best to install this version of KMFasTrans PRO before doing the upgrade. If installed in Joomla 2.5, and later you upgrade Joomla to version 3.x, KMFasTrans PRO 2.0.0 will work perfectly on Joomla 3.x without any additional action.
As you begin to work with version 2.0.0 on Joomla 3.x, you will notice that some things have changed from Joomla 2.x, mainly due to new Joomla 3.x style.
The most important changes are:
- The language selection dropdown list on the Translation Management Dashboard screen contains only a list of languages to be selected and a button to refresh the screen when the selection changes. The languages selected by default when you log in are the published content languages.
- The button 'Copy All' on the editing screen is located on the toolbar. In this way it is always visible.
- The buttons 'Copy' on the editing screen, used to copy the contents of fieldsets are now located on the parameters tabs, to the left of the tab title. Each button on the title of a tab, copies all fields of the tab in which it is located. You can also have buttons within the parameters tab itself to copy fieldsets within that tab individually. In this case there will not normally be a copy button to the left of the tab title.
