1.8.0: Built for multilingual editing, funded by the TYPO3 Community 🌍✨

World Premiere

This is a really big release for the Visual Editor: version 1.8.0 introduces multi-language editing directly inside the visual editing experience. Editors can now work with multiple language versions side by side, making it much easier to compare content, review translations, spot layout differences, and keep pages aligned across languages.

No other CMS offers side-by-side comparison and direct editing of multiple language versions in a fully rendered WYSIWYG/frontend editor.

The new workflow also brings important improvements around navigation, saving, loading feedback, and editor synchronization, making multilingual editing feel much more connected and reliable.

A huge thank you goes to the TYPO3 Community ❤️ This feature was financed by the community, and this release would not have been possible without that support.
