New in the Xanadu release
- Exclusion Framework in Dynamic Translation
- Exclusion Framework enables you to prevent machine translation of certain words and terms. You can specify words, such as official product names, that you want to shield from the translation process. You can also input regex to prevent translation of patterns such as sys ids.
- The flows used by default Translator Configurations are upgraded to v4
- With the Xanadu Patch 3 release, the flows used by default translator configurations are automatically upgraded to v4. If you want to use v4 flows and APIs with customized translator configurations, you must migrate them manually. The previous v3 is still supported.
Changed in this release
- Character maximum has increased for MS translation requests
- For users of the Microsoft Azure Translator service: the maximum character limit for a translation request has increased to 50,000. The maximum character limit for a detection request remains 50,000.
