Changelog

0.2.15

WordPress.org / Plugin Check compliance cleanup: plugin/readme headers, translator comments, nonce/input handling and query hardening.
Removed deprecated manual text-domain loading; WordPress loads the plugin translations automatically.
Simplified legacy collation repair now that multilingual joins are collation-safe.
Reduced slow menu-item lookup queries and tightened menu-editor security handling.
Added a final nav_menu_item_title fallback so automatic translated menu labels always follow the current translated page title on the frontend.

0.2.8

Redesigned Appearance > Menus multilingual controls into a professional menu workspace.
Added one-click synchronization from the default-language menu to a translated menu.
Added Sync all translations from the default-language source menu.
Synchronization mirrors menu order, hierarchy, linked posts/pages and compatible menu metadata.
Existing translated navigation labels and target-only manual items are preserved.
Older translated menus are automatically mapped to source menu items on first sync.
New menu translations now always use the default-language menu as their structural source.
Added sync controls to Multilingual > Menus and translation-history logging.

0.2.7

Fixed WordPress language-pack installation verification and cache invalidation.
Language packs now report Installed only when WordPress itself detects the locale.

0.2.6

Switch WordPress runtime locale per frontend GDML language without changing wp-admin or the saved Site Language.
Automatically install the corresponding WordPress core language pack when a language is added.
Add language-pack status and retry installation controls to the Languages screen.

0.2.5

Fixed frontend HTML language attributes so translated pages emit their own configured locale.
Added a hard-coded-theme fallback that rewrites only the opening HTML tag when language_attributes() is not used.
Added automatic RTL/LTR document direction based on the active language.

0.2.4

Fixed MySQL illegal-mix-of-collations errors in multilingual post queries.
Automatically aligns the GDML translation table collation with wp_posts during upgrade when permitted.
Added binary-safe translation joins as a fallback on restricted hosting.
Frontend menus now hide post/page items when the current language has no published translation.
Singular language switchers no longer show languages for missing translations.
Added a native Appearance > Menus Language Switcher box with Add to menu.
Language switcher supports Dropdown or Inline display, native-name or code labels, and flags on/off.
Switcher settings remain editable on the menu item and are preserved when menus are cloned.

0.2.3

Added searchable WordPress locale picker with installed/available groups, regional variants and flags.
Language presets now follow the locales exposed by WordPress.org for the installed WordPress version, with offline ISO fallback.
Prevent duplicate WordPress locales and support longer regional/formal route codes.

0.2.2

Expanded the language preset selector to all 184 ISO 639-1 languages.
Added flag icons, native names, English names and locale defaults to language presets.
Existing site languages are disabled in the preset selector to prevent accidental replacement.

0.2.1

Fixed WordPress and third-party admin notices being injected inside the GlobalDev Multilingual visual page header.
Added a dedicated screen-reader H1 outside the visual header so WordPress notice placement stays in the normal admin notice area.
Added a defensive MutationObserver that relocates late-injected notices above the GDML header.

0.2.0

Redesigned professional admin interface with Dashboard, Languages, Translations, Menus, History and Settings pages.
Added AJAX language management without page reloads.
Added language presets and active/inactive state controls.
Added translation history/audit table and recent-activity dashboard.
Added translation-group overview with per-language edit/create controls.
Added multilingual menu overview.
Added one-click rewrite/permalink refresh in Dashboard and Settings.
Fixed linking newly-created translated menus when WordPress had already registered the target menu as a default-language object.
Existing 0.1.x installations automatically create the new history table during upgrade.

0.1.2

Multilingual menu relationships and menu-language selector.
Create linked menu translations with hierarchy preserved.
Remap post/page menu items to translated objects when available.
Frontend automatically swaps the assigned default menu for its linked language menu.
Filter menu-editor post/page pickers by the current menu language.
Preserve plugin-specific menu item and menu term metadata when cloning.
Fix activation-time rewrite flushing and debounce GDML rewrite flushes after translation/menu actions.
