New features
AI translations with ChatGPT
With this release, we've upgraded our integration with ChatGPT to enable AI translations for users. Note that this feature isn’t enabled by default and must be explicitly requested per project. Using AI for translations is limited: for each project utilizing ChatGPT integration, a monthly credit is provided, AI translation costs are automatically deducted from this allocated balance.
AI translations are available for all project languages, excluding the default language (usually English). This feature translates the Default translation (EN) to your selected language and adds it to the Translation field. For more details, see Translate with AI.
New Tenant role
The new user role, Tenant, has been added. It’s similar to the former Editor role, but expands functionality by providing access to AI-powered translations.
All users currently assigned the Editor role will seamlessly transition to the Tenant role, whether or not the AI translation feature is activated within their respective projects.
Improvements
To enhance user experience and navigation efficiency, search fields have been added across all dropdowns. This allows users to swiftly locate specific items within extensive lists, streamlining overall interaction.
The user avatar icon has been added to the topbar. By hovering over it, you can access your email and role information alongside the Log out button. The language select has been removed from the topbar, but remains available within the main menu.
Resolved issues
There have been no customer-facing issues reported in this release.

Enhanced security
With this release, two-factor authentication (2FA) has been updated to require authenticator apps, such as Google Authenticator as the primary option and Twilio Authy as an alternative for users in regions where Google Authenticator may be unavailable.
When signing in to WEBLATE, you’ll now be prompted to set up an authenticator app to generate 2FA codes by following the on-screen instructions. For security reasons, you’ll be requested to enter a code from the app each time you sign in after providing your credentials.

New features
Language selector for faster translation modifying
Following recent updates to simplify translation management, a language selector has been added to the Translations page. Previously, users had to constantly switch back to the language list when modifying translations for multiple languages. Now, selecting a category takes you directly to the key list. You can switch languages using the new selector on this page, significantly reducing the time needed for setting translations.
Improvements
When adding a new project, it now loads faster and displays a dynamic preloader.
The New keys column has been removed from the project list. This change enhances user experience by decluttering the Projects page and improving performance through key data caching.
The search engine now retains search results across page reloads, providing a consistent user experience.
When switching to the next page of search results, the page scrolls to the top automatically, providing a more intuitive experience

Improvements
Simplified Default translations management
A new column displaying default translations in the selected language, distinct from English, has been added to the Translations page. Previously, only English translations were provided, but now users can easily edit translations for all 22 supported languages.
New project types
Two new project types have been added: pbsr-v2 and pbsr-admin.
