Major language issue in SharePoint 2019 September Cumulative Update
Posted by Martin Laplante on 16 September 2020 08:14 AM |
Although it is not a PointFire issue, we wish to inform users of SharePoint 2019 that Microsoft has confirmed a serious issue in non-English modern sites after applying the September Cumulative Update of SharePoint 2019. Several site components will have their text replaced with blanks. The release notes for the September Cumulative Update have been updated to show this as a "known issue". We recommend not installing this cumulative update, but waiting for one in which the issue is corrected. More details can be found in this blog post from Microsoft Senior Escalation Enginee Stefan Gossner.
Update: You can download a fix for this problem https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4461512/september-21-2020-update-for-sharepoint-server-2019-kb4461512

This is a mandatory update release for PointFire 365 for SharePoint Online, part of Office 365. This release adds minor new functionality and corrects a number of issues in version 2.4.0.

To get your copy, go to http://community.icefire.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/List/Index/1/pointfire-installation-packages and log in or create an account. The fully-featured trial version can be downloaded for free and can be used for development and testing, with some pre-sale support.

PointFire Translator Version 2.0.0 is Released
Posted by Martin Laplante on 09 July 2020 04:08 PM |
PointFire Translator version 2.0.0.0 is now available. Thank you to everyone who participated in the beta versions for the past year. This is a major upgrade, which includes and requires a new version of the PointFire Translator app, also named version 2.0.0.0. It makes it simple to translate Modern pages such as the ones in Communication and Teams sites and those produced by the Multilingual Page Publishing feature, as well as classic pages, documents, lists, and metadata. It has several interfaces, including via a SharePoint App, a web interface, scripting, and Power Automate. If you were using version 1.2, the major change is that you do not need to install it on the workstation of the person carrying out the translation (although that is still supported), but it can be on a shared physical or virtual server. It runs under the identity of the person who called it via the app, it can also be called by Power Automate, and it supports the SharePoint Multilingual Page Publishing feature.
New Features
Bug fixes and enhancements
PointFire Translator can translate individual items or entire libraries or lists in SharePoint Online. It includes the PoinFire Translator App which will use PointFire Translator Server as a default translation service, and fall back to SharePoint's Machine Translation Service if PointFire Translator is not available. It can be downloaded here (login required) http://community.icefire.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/146/30/pointfire-translator-server Many thanks to the many testers who helped us get the product to this state.
