Releases

What's new and improved in Beelocity

v0.124.0

Beelocity's website now has its own address in each language, so a prospect who searches in French or Arabic finds the home page in their language. Any visitor can switch language from the top bar before signing in, and the sign-in page follows. The home page and the release notes also show sooner, and a shared link now carries a title and a description.

Added

The website, found in three languages

The home page and the Releases page now have one address per language: English, French and Arabic. Search engines can find and show the French and Arabic pages, not only the English one.

  • One address per language — beelocity.com is English, beelocity.com/fr/ is French and beelocity.com/ar/ is Arabic, right to left. The release notes follow, at /fr/releases and /ar/releases.
  • Straight to your language — if your browser is set to French or Arabic, opening beelocity.com takes you to the page in that language. If you chose English, you stay in English.
  • Written for each reader — every page has its own title and a short description in each language. That description is the line a search result shows under the title.
  • Links keep their language — a link to the French page opens in French, whoever opens it, even someone signed in with an account set to Arabic.
  • A preview on shared links — paste a link to the home page or to a release into a chat. It shows the page's title and description, in the page's language.
  • Search engines see the right pages — they now receive a list of every public page in all three languages. Pages behind the sign-in, such as the Dashboard, are no longer offered to them.

Choose your language before you sign in

  • A language menu in the top bar — it sits beside Sign in and shows the language you are reading. Pick another and the same page comes back in it. On a phone, only its icon shows.
  • Your choice follows you in — Beelocity remembers it on this computer, so the sign-up and sign-in pages open in that language. Once you sign in, your account's language takes over.
  • Sign up in the language you read — arrive on the French home page and the sign-up page opens in French too, whatever language your browser is set to.

Improved

  • The home page shows sooner — the home page and the Releases page now arrive with their text already in place. You can read them before the rest of Beelocity has finished loading.
  • The website lines up with the app — the home page, its top bar and its footer now start their text at the same distance from the edge as every page inside Beelocity.

Internal

  • Every language checked before each release — tests now read each public page the way a search engine does, in English, French and Arabic. A page that loses its title, its description or its language fails them.
