Speedy Translate 1.9.0 (Beta) is now available

First of all, on the behalf of Solidres Team, we hope that all Solidres users and your families are still safe during this Covid outbreak. We are suffering too and we hope this situation will be improved as soon as possible, all together.

Speedy Translate 1.9.0 (Beta) is now available, this release marks a very important milestone for this product with the following big features and improvements, please read more info below, but please bear in mind that this is just a first BETA release, it is not yet ready, bugs are expected, you should only use it for previewing/testing purposes.

The new SPEEDY translation engine

In the past, Speedy Translate relies on either Joomla Multilingual Association or Falang to provide the multilingual capacity, but since v1.9.0 we now have our own SPEEDY translation engine which is developed from scratch with many improvements:

  • Multiple DBMS supports: MySQL (both MySQLi and MySQL PDO), PostgresSQL.
  • Composite keys support: now it is possible to translate Joomla Custom Fields values (Falang can not do that).
  • 3rd Joomla extensions support: at this moment we support Joomla core components, Solidres, Hikashop, J2Store, JEvents, Creative Contact Form, K2
  • Dedicated translations view so that you can check all translations in a single place.

Falang data migration tool

  • This tool makes it easier to migrate your Falang translations to Speedy Translate if you want to use the new SPEEDY translation engine.

Google Translate integration

  • Google Translate is now supported as an automatic translation service provider in addition to the current Yandex Translate option.

Testing and feedback are very welcome at this stage, please let us know what do you think via our support ticket system or forum.

Stay safe, stay well!

Solidres mobile app updates

We’d like to say thank you to all testers who joined our mobile app testing program, we received a lot of good feedback to fine tune our mobile app further and now it is officially available in Google Play Store. Regarding Apple App Store, they required us to implement the in-app purchase API to let users buy their mobile subscription directly from the app therefore we need more time for it, in the mean time you can still use the Solidres app for iOS via Test Flight app (contact us if you want to join).

Please check the following documentation link to get started:

New feature highlight: Origins system

In previous versions, we have a simple Origins feature where users can enter an origin for a reservation as plain text. Since v2.9.0 we made a big improvement for Origins system by allowing you to create and manage origins via a dedicated UI. We also have a plan for future releases that support channel manager tax mapping.

All the things you need to make your work easier. Did you like Solidres?
