EasyLingo 3.0

 EasyLingo 3.0 - update for Sitecore 10.4

Years ago I created (together with Kris - Kevin - Verheire) a module for XM/XP customers that had multiple languages in their site and wanted an easy overview of which language versions existed on every page. To be honest, I almost forgot about this module as my active customers had stopped using it but this year I was asked to consult on an upgrade project for a customer towards Sitecore 10.4 - and this customer was still using the module.

I wrote posts about the module when they got released, and the code is available on Github:

Sitecore 10.4

Apparently the latest version of the module was not compatible with Sitecore 10.4. So I had to make a few adjustments and released version 3.0 - which now again is compatible. 

Experience editor

One problem though - this release seemed to break the experience editor in a weird way. I think it is related to the way some custom javascript code was inserted , but as I am not a javascript expert I might be wrong. Anyway, I couldn't get it fixed so version 3.0.1 was released without XP editor support. 

For the customer that was no issue as they didn't use the functionality in that editor that much and time was running out so I'm afraid that for now this will be it. 

Due to circumstances this issue is still not fixed - but as the code is openly available anyone can jump  in and contribute if you want. 

I assumed (and still do) that the module was very close to the end of it's lifetime, but I was also glad to see that at least some people are actually still using it after all those years.  If you still have a customer on XM/XP with multiple languages, feel free to have a look. And fix my xp editor issue if you can 😉
