Introducing New Features in Deepl Translator!

Bushra Asif

We are thrilled to announce that Deepl Translator has just been upgraded with two fantastic new features that are set to enhance your translation experience significantly. Whether you’re a seasoned translator or a language learner, these updates are designed to make your work more efficient and accurate. Let’s dive into what’s new!

Support for Taghandling: HTML or XML at Your Command

First up, we’ve added support for taghandling, a feature that gives you the power to specify how tags should be treated during the translation process. This is particularly useful for those working with web content or any text that includes formatting tags.

With this update, you can now choose whether to handle tags as HTML or XML. This means that Deepl Translator will recognize and preserve the structure of your content, ensuring that formatting and layout remain intact after translation. This is a game-changer for maintaining the integrity of your web pages, making the translation process smoother than ever.

Customize Formality Levels for Your Translations

Understanding the nuances of language formality is essential when translating content for different audiences and contexts. With this in mind, we’re excited to unveil a new dropdown in the admin configuration of DeepL Translator. This dropdown allows you to set the formality level for translations across various languages, supporting:

  • German (DE)
  • French (FR)
  • Italian (IT)
  • Spanish (ES)
  • Dutch (NL)
  • Polish (PL)
  • Portuguese, Brazilian (PT-BR)
  • Portuguese, European (PT-PT)
  • Japanese (JA)
  • Russian (RU)

By tailoring the formality level to specific languages, you can ensure that your translations strike the right tone—from formal business communications to casual social media posts—making your content more engaging and culturally appropriate.

Why It Matters

At DeepL, we are committed to continuously improving our platform to meet the evolving needs of our users. These new features are designed to save you time, maintain accuracy, and uphold the nuances of language—no matter the complexity of your content.

We invite you to explore these new capabilities and discover how they can streamline your translation processes and elevate the quality of your multilingual communications.

Your Feedback Matters

We’d love to hear your thoughts on these new features. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we continue to develop and refine Deepl Translator. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any comments, suggestions, or questions.

Optimizing Magento 2 Performance with Back Forward Cache & Page Preload

Bushra Asif

In the ever-evolving world of e-commerce, the performance of your online store is not just a nice-to-have; it’s a critical factor that can make or break your business. Slow loading times, laggy navigation, and poor user experiences can lead to high bounce rates, low conversion rates, and ultimately, lost revenue. That’s where the right tools and optimizations come into play, transforming your Magento 2 store into a high-performing, customer-friendly platform.

Boost Your Core Web Vitals with Back/Forward Cache

Google’s Core Web Vitals (CWV) are a set of specific factors that Google considers when evaluating the user experience of web pages. Improving these vitals can significantly enhance your store’s visibility in search engine results and provide a better experience for your visitors. One powerful way to boost your CWV Field Data is by enabling the Back/Forward Cache (bfcache) for your Magento 2 store.

The Back/Forward Cache is a feature that allows pages to be cached in the browser when a user navigates away. This means that when the user returns to the page via the browser’s back or forward buttons, the page can be displayed almost instantly, without needing to be reloaded from the server. This not only improves the user experience but also significantly enhances your store’s Core Web Vitals.

Page Preload for Instant Page Loads

Taking performance optimization a step further, our Page Preload feature ensures that pages are loaded into the cache before the user even requests them. This can lead to “zero-TTFB” (Time to First Byte) page loads for subsequent visits, providing a more seamless user experience and potentially boosting your conversion rate.

Our single extension combines the benefits of Back/Forward Cache and Page Preload, offering a robust performance enhancement toolkit for your Magento 2 store. It’s a comprehensive solution designed to improve both the performance and usability of your online store.

Conclusion

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, the performance of your Magento 2 store is more important than ever. By leveraging powerful tools like Back/Forward Cache and Page Preload, you can significantly enhance your store’s performance, improve user experience, and boost your conversion rates. Our comprehensive solution is designed to be easy to implement, highly effective, and fully aligned with best practices endorsed by industry leaders like Google. Don’t let slow loading times hold your store back—equip your Magento 2 store with the tools it needs to succeed in today’s competitive e-commerce environment.

How Extendware Will Migrate You From Magento 1.0 to 2.0 and Include 2.0 Extensions ( for free)!

Extendware Team

Just when you thought you had all the right Extendware extensions for your Magento 1 store, Magento rolled out the 2.0 platform! In order to keep up with the times and the new Magento features, it would make sense to migrate to 2.0, but how much time and money will this take. Not to mention, now you need all new extensions!

Start with a Free Quote!

Do you need your website migrated from Magento 1.0 to 2.0? Do you love your current Extendware M1 Extensions but don’t want to have to buy new ones just for 2.0? Let us handle all of that for you.

Migration is not an easy task, but our Magento trained team can make it an easy and flawless process. Our migration services start at 4.5K and we will include a free 2.0 upgrade lifetime license on any 1.0 Extendware extension that your currently own, saving you hundreds on new licensing!

Magento 1.x can not easily transition to 2.3. A migration of the existing data from the 1.x installation to a new 2.3 installation needs to be done. Themes and extensions for Magento 1.x can not be used in Magento 2.x. The move to version 2.x is major change and may not be possible at this point if extensions you use are not available for the new version yet.

The good news is that Magento 1.0 will continue to be supported through at least 2019, so there is not a need to rush to the new 2.0 platform, but we are here to do that for you if you are ready! (Running an older version of Magento 1.0? We can upgrade you to the latest version, just ask!)

Please see here for a list of hosting requirements.

Let Extendware Take the Leg Work Out of Migration While You Get Back To Running Your Business!
