Liferay 7.4 introduces the ability to manage language translations directly within client extensions. This enhancement allows developers to provide multilingual support for custom labels and properties without relying solely on OSGi bundles.

Key benefits: 

• Developers can now define and manage language keys and translations within the client extension itself, ensuring that all labels and custom properties are displayed correctly across different languages.

• This feature eliminates the issue of untranslated labels with dashes, providing a consistent and professional appearance on multilingual sites.

• Simplifies the process of adding translations, reducing the need for manual intervention and external OSGi bundles, thus accelerating the development and deployment of multilingual features.

• Empowers developers to create more flexible and fully localized custom elements and themes, enhancing the overall versatility of the Liferay platform.

• Users can select and reorder categories for a blog’s friendly URL, so they can preview the order of the categories in the friendly URL and determine how the categories will be presented in the friendly URL along with the title.

• Users are able to set different values for the asset types separators in the friendly URLs. Also, they are able to reset to default value, so for those asset types that they have clicked on this option, the separator will be the value defined by default for those specific asset types.

During the publishing process, users can both define and manage permissions, as well as schedule publication dates for their web content. When creating content for the first time, users will have the opportunity to conveniently review and manage permissions. Furthermore, when editing previously created content, users can also adjust permissions directly from the editor view. Additionally, users can easily select the desired publication date for their content during the publishing process.

It is now possible to subscribe to documents and folders, allowing users to receive notifications when they are updated.

Highlights:

• Users can now subscribe to documents and folders through the “Subscribe” action and through the Subscribe icon in the Info Panel

• If a user subscribes to a folder, all documents and subfolders within it will be automatically subscribed to as well
