Show full answer Show less ## New Features * **Exclusion Framework (introduced in Yokohama):** Allows you to specify words or patterns like product names and technical terms that should be preserved during machine translation, ensuring critical content remains accurate. * **API Upgrade:** Default translator configurations now use version 4 APIs automatically. Customized translator configurations require manual migration to v4, though v3 remains supported. * **Test Exclusion Rule (added in Zurich):** Enables you to test exclusion patterns (exact or regex matches) before applying them. Once satisfied, you can create exclusion rules directly from the test results, enhancing control over translation exclusions. ## Changes * **Coral Theme (Zurich):** The new default theme for portals, web, and mobile experiences with Next Experience or Core UI enabled. Coral offers a fresh, brand-neutral look with optional dark mode for better readability and reduced eye strain on web and mobile. ## Deprecations and Removals * **IBM Watson Translator Service Spoke (Yokohama):** This spoke is no longer available due to IBM withdrawing the service. Customers using this spoke must plan accordingly. * **No removals or new deprecations were introduced in Zurich for Dynamic Translation.** ## Activation and Requirements * **Activation:** Dynamic Translation is enabled via the Dynamic Translation plugin (com.glide.dynamictranslation) available on the ServiceNow AI Platform. * **Additional Requirements and Browser Compatibility:** No changes or new requirements were introduced in these areas between Yokohama and Zurich. ## Accessibility The Coral theme includes a dark mode option for web and mobile, which supports accessibility by improving readability and reducing eye strain for users. ## Key Takeaways for ServiceNow Customers * Review and migrate any customized translator configurations to use API v4 to leverage the latest translation capabilities. * Use the new Test Exclusion Rule module in Zurich to validate and refine exclusion patterns before applying them, improving translation accuracy. * Prepare for the removal of the IBM Watson Translator Service spoke if currently in use, as it is no longer supported. * Expect a refreshed user interface experience with the Coral theme, including a dark mode for improved usability.
