It is designed to help ServiceNow customers prepare for upgrades by summarizing key product enhancements and modifications affecting Dynamic Translation. Show full answer Show less ## New Features * **Exclusion Framework (Xanadu and Yokohama releases):** Allows customers to prevent machine translation of specific words, such as official product names or technical terms, by specifying exact words or regex patterns. This feature helps maintain translation accuracy and consistency for specialized terminology. * **Upgrade to v4 Flows and APIs:** The default Translator Configurations were automatically upgraded to version 4 flows and APIs in Xanadu Patch 3 and Yokohama releases. Customized translator configurations require manual migration to v4 to leverage these improvements, while v3 remains supported. * **Test Exclusion Rule Module (Zurich release):** Enables customers to validate exclusion patterns by testing exact or regex matches on input text before creating exclusion rules. This facilitates accurate configuration of terms to exclude from translation. ## Changes * **Increased Character Limit for Microsoft Azure Translator (Xanadu):** The maximum characters allowed per translation request increased from 10,000 to 50,000 for Microsoft Azure Translator service users, allowing for larger translation batches. Detection requests remain capped at 50,000 characters. * **Coral Theme Default (Zurich):** The Coral theme became the default for new portal, web, and mobile experiences with Next Experience or Core UI enabled. It introduces brand-neutral illustrations and includes a dark theme option to improve user experience and accessibility. ## Deprecations * **IBM Watson Translator Service Integration Removed (Xanadu and Yokohama):** The IBM Watson Translator Service integration and related spoke (com.glide.ibmtranslationspoke) were deprecated and are no longer available due to IBM withdrawing the service. ## Activation and Requirements * Dynamic Translation is a ServiceNow AI Platform feature activated via the Dynamic Translation plugin (com.glide.dynamictranslation). * There were no additional new requirements, browser, accessibility, or localization changes introduced between Xanadu and Australia releases. ## Practical Implications for ServiceNow Customers * Customers upgrading to Australia can expect no new feature updates or removals in this release but should be aware of prior enhancements such as the Exclusion Framework to control translation scope. * Manual migration is needed for customized translator configurations to adopt v4 flows and APIs to benefit from improvements. * The increased character limit for Microsoft Azure Translator enables processing larger translation payloads, improving efficiency. * With IBM Watson Translator no longer supported, customers relying on this service must plan alternative translation integrations. * The Coral theme and dark mode option enhance user experience with modern, accessible UI styling.
