NEW Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Now Available

We’ve added Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to enhance security in Wordbee Translator. Available in the Advanced Security Settings, MFA requires users to verify their identity with multiple factors, such as a password and an authentication app or email token. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access, protects sensitive data, and ensures compliance with industry security standards. With flexible configuration options for administrators and users, MFA provides a customizable approach to securing your environment and minimizing the risk of breaches.

The API method for testing SRX rules from text has been upgraded to provide more detailed feedback. It now includes information on whether and where the text is split, along with insights into cases where a potential split is canceled due to segments falling below the minimum length threshold. When this occurs, the method flags it with a "tooShort" indication and specifies the applicable minimum length. For more details, visit: https://help.wordbee.com/api2/settings-srx-tools-split

For instance, if translating into multiple regional variants of Spanish, users can select Spanish (Spain) as a pivot language and set up tailored workflows for each variant. This update allows for easy customization, ensuring that each project meets its specific language requirements.

IMPROVED New "Service Domains" Column Added to Client and Supplier Reports

We’ve improved reports S500 and S501 by adding a new column titled "Service Domains" at the end of each report. This enhancement provides users with additional insights into the domains associated with clients and suppliers.
