OpenX Blog

We have released an update for the stable version of OpenX. OpenX (v2.4.4) contains bug fixes, performance enhancements and a new colour scheme to match the new OpenX brand.

But wait, there’s more! Don’t worry, it’s not a box opener but something even better… big improvements to our translation files.

As you may be aware, some of our translation files date back years. The quality of each translation varied, most were incomplete and some completely broken. We’ve been working with community members to update key translation files. Our work has focused on the upcoming beta release but we were able to backport some significant enhancements to our current stable release for your enjoyment.

Before this release, key translation files were a mess:

1. Simplified Chinese was completely broken
2. Russian was unusable for most publishers
3. Brazilian Portuguese needed to be restarted from scratch
4. Spanish and French were only partially complete
5. Even German, our best translation, needed some work!

All of these languages are dramatically improved. We know these aren’t perfect but they are largely complete with the exceptions of some hard coded strings in the application.

The next stable release of OpenX will have even better translations for more languages. We’d love your help to make this happen. Please contact us if you would like to assist us with the ongoing internationalisation work.

(By the way, we’ve repackaged this release as publishers were unable to unpack the archive cleanly on their windows desktops – damn you pesky case insensitive file system! Our apologies for any inconvenience this caused.)
