Changelog

This page lists user-facing updates for WebLang Translator. Versions refer to the extension package version.

2.2.6

Paragraph mode: skip navigation, site header/footer, forms, and dialogs so injected translation blocks do not break flex, grid, or widget layouts; ignore stylesheet-like strings (for example embedded CSS in third-party components)
Paragraph mode: place translation blocks after whole flex rows when needed, cap width with min(100%, 50vw), and harden styles against host page typography
Full page: translate text inside <nav> and sidebars again (documentation sites); translate placeholder and aria-label on inputs and buttons where applicable
Show original on hover: store paragraph-level source text without attaching tooltips to huge containers (article / main); only show the tooltip when the pointer is over real text (not empty page chrome)
Quick Translate: default panel width scales up to half the viewport; taller scrollable content area
Restore and cleanup for translated attributes and tooltip metadata when stopping translation

Refreshed the popup and options experience with a warmer teal-and-orange visual system, updated controls, and more consistent settings layouts
Replaced checkbox-style toggles with clearer switch controls across the side panel and options page
Improved translation session handling so long-running page translations expose more reliable Stop and status behavior in the side panel
Expanded translation history updates while page translation is active to better support recent activity and history-based re-translation
Tuned full-page and paragraph translation flows to better handle dynamic content, dropdowns, and long pages

Reduced package size by optimizing bundled icon assets
Improved full-page translation with progressive viewport-first processing for long pages
Expanded text collection support for more shadow DOM content on modern web apps
Added a real-time Stop action while page translation is still active
Improved Quick Translate popup positioning so it follows the selection area more naturally
Refined original-text hover tooltip sizing and placement to reduce content overlap
Removed the intrusive in-page translation progress dialog for a cleaner reading experience

Massive UI/UX overhaul with centralized design tokens and a new “Flat Pastel” theme
Improved visual styling and formatting for PDF exports
Performance optimizations targeting batch translation efficiency and reduced browser latency
Refactored language handling architecture into a single source of truth
