AI Agents Start Doing the Post-Editing
We are opening the year with the change people have been waiting for: AI agents that actually do the work. You can now assign an AI agent to a supplier pricelist service exactly the way you assign a freelancer. Once the job moves to In Progress, the agent runs the translation and marks the job complete, no clicking through it.
Several agents ship ready to use. Some run a fast single-step translation, others run a three-step pipeline that translates, validates structure, then corrects, using different large language models behind a retrieval pipeline that pulls in your terminology and translation memories. You can shape a flow to fit how a specific project really runs, and agent activity is visible across job details and lists so you always know what ran. The idea is simple: an agent is a resource you route work to, not a system you babysit. The setup lives in the AI in Wordbee Translator guide, and the feature depends on your subscription plan.
Terminology Gets the Permissions It Always Needed
Here is one that quietly changes who you can invite into a project. Terminology access used to be a single permission. Now it splits in two: one right lets a user browse and search terms, and a separate right is required to create, edit, or delete them. Anyone who had full access keeps both, so your team notices nothing.
What it unlocks is external access done safely. You can give a client or a supplier read-only access to the term information for their own company, so reviewers see the approved terms they need to follow while your termbase stays locked. It is a small permission change with a real payoff for anyone running terminology across multiple companies.
One Way to Set Up a Workflow, Everywhere
Workflow setup used to look different on Standard and Codyt screens, and that mismatch was just enough to make you second-guess yourself. Now a single Create Workflow control runs both. You pick a system default or a custom template from the same list, whether you decide up front or wait until the Manage Document screen, and the default behavior does not change. It is less to relearn and one less place to slip.
One fix in the same area, shipped in a quick follow-up, is worth calling out: the Create Workflow option had been defaulting to off on some projects, which silently stalled automated job creation. It is now on by default for both Standard and Codyt, so your workflow automation runs the moment a job lands.
A Report Made for Quality Evidence
When a client asks you to prove quality, you want the answer in one click. The new QA Issues Report pulls every quality issue from the segments loaded in the editor across any scope you choose: one job, a whole project, or the entire database. It handles multiple target languages and up to 50,000 segments, includes the rule that fired and its severity, and downloads straight from the editor or the reports page. For anyone whose contract includes a quality commitment, this turns a scramble into a report. The details are in the QA report documentation.
Also in This Release
The smaller wins add up fast. Custom fields now offer native date and date/time pickers, so deadlines and review cycles stay accurate instead of living in a free-text box. The Set Supplier dropdown drops its old 200-entry cap, so teams with big vendor networks, the kind LSPs run every day, can scroll and autocomplete across the whole list. You can generate and download every file preview for a multi-file job at once, instead of opening each document one by one. The User Operations page now separates queued tasks from tasks waiting on a schedule or a parent dependency, and adds request metadata, filtering, and direct cancellation, which means fewer false alarms. The Excel filter handles multi-sheet workbooks more reliably under regex column recognition, validating each sheet on its own so one odd sheet no longer sinks the whole import. And Look and Feel settings pick up a dedicated dark-mode logo plus refreshed default branding.
That is a strong way to start a year, and it is the pace we intend to keep. The full technical notes for 2026.1.4.0 live on help.wordbee.com. If AI post-editing or tighter terminology control sounds like something your team could use today, talk to us and we will show you how it works.
