Resolved Issues

• Very slow redirect on a site with a new user having non-default language in their profile, or starting a new session
• Possible redirect Loop for a few minutes for users who navigate from a site with full control to a site where they are read-only
• In Manage Variations page, After language change the filter option is not working.
• In Manage Variations page, no items showed up in the list on the right of while the language was French.
• In Manage Variations page, not able to select the file if the file name contains a single quote (').
• In Manage Variations page, not able to select the file if the file name is too long
• After language change from a site, navigate to a classic site and the page reloads continuously if a current language is not activated on that classic site.
• The home page did not redirect in a classic site.
• Page redirection issue while navigating from one site to another when Item Language and Source Item columns are set manually rather than by PointFire.
• In UI Translation step 1, error "Multilingual Translations list is not present" when there are a large number of lists
• When using UI Translation on the hidden site contentTypeHub, new custom content type names did not translate.
• Optimization of process query calls for UI Translation for faster performance, less throttling
• After performing UI Translation Step-3, delete some items from the MTL, then perform Step-1 by unchecking the "Untranslated Only" option. We can see the deleted terms are added but their variations are not added.
• UI Translation Step-1 is getting some zeroes "0" for Term field and blank value for variation fields when the "Untranslated Only" option is unchecked
• After clicking on UI Translation Step-3, it is getting stuck and only showing the message "Started".
• If two folders have the same item names, then the source item and item language are sometimes not set properly.
• If we enable make multilingual and select all items as en then it is only adding the item languages of the current page items as en but inside the folder items are not set to en.
• Hub navigation not translating in some cases.

PointFire makes SharePoint truly multilingual and lets your users collaborate in their language.  Two different users going to the same page on the same site will each see it almost entirely in their language, both UI and content, without using Variations.
