We are thrilled to announce a new update bringing enhancements to user management, online activity monitoring, and various improvements within Church Translation.

You can now export the list of current users as a CSV

Steps:

• Go to User Management page

• Click on Download CSV in the Current users section (bottom right)

• The CSV will contain: Name and Email (if available), the selected language and the last login date

User Management page shows who’s online now

The user is online if there is a green dot next to the name

You can now see who is online on the Translation Page

We added a new section Users Online to the Translation Page.

• Here you can see who is currently online

• You can see

  • the Name and Email (if user signed up with Google or Apple)

  • the selected language

The Statistics Page will show the Cost by day accurately again

We introduced a bug during the last release, causing the Cost by day to show nothing. This is fixed now!

Split Sentences should not cut off too long text anymore

The split sentences feature on the Preparations Page did cut off text if it was too long. This is resolved now!

Please review the 👉 The Split Sentences Rules if you’re using Preparations as your translation tool.

Reduced lag for audio output on the mobile app

The text-to-speech (audio output) feature on the mobile app lagged behind the actual preaching quite a bit for two reasons:

1. the audio files were downloaded from our server once the text was ready to be spoken

2. the playback rate was set too low

Improvements

1. We’re now downloading up to 5 audio files in advance to reduce the time between the end of one file and the start of another

2. We increased the playback rate to 1.3 to not fall behind the actual preaching but still sound natural

3. In case the listening feature falls behind the actual preaching, we will not automatically scroll to the bottom anymore. Instead scroll to the actual text spoken.

We will enhance our support process very soon

We will be rolling out detailed articles about Church Translation

• Getting started guides

• Tips and Tricks

• General information (language support, pricing, etc)

The articles will be available in English and German.

Please checkout the first articles in 👉 The Help center.

The Changelog moved from a page on the actual website to 👉 here and will be released in English and German going forward.

PS: On that page you will also see “Feedback” and “Roadmap”. You will hear more about that soon!

Happy translation!
