• Total Rewrite of the Plugin: Completely overhauled the filter_autotranslate plugin to improve functionality, performance, and usability, introducing a new architecture and feature set.
• Dynamic Tagging in Text Filter: Enhanced the text_filter to dynamically tag untagged content during page rendering, including content from third-party modules not explicitly configured in tagging_config.php. This ensures immediate tagging for viewed content, complementing the scheduled task-based tagging.
• Course-Specific Rebuild Feature: Added the ability to manually rebuild translations for a specific course using the "Rebuild Translations" button in the management interface (manage.php) or via CLI through tagcontent_task.php. Implemented in rebuild_course_translations.php with batch processing (default: 20 records per run, configurable via managelimit).
• Management Interface Enhancements:
  • Introduced a comprehensive management interface at /filter/autotranslate/manage.php for viewing, filtering, and editing translations.
  • Added filtering by language, human status, review status, and course ID (using mdl_filter_autotranslate_hid_cids for course-based filtering).
  • Enabled editing of translations via a WYSIWYG editor, updating translated_text, human, and timereviewed.
  • Included pagination and sorting for efficient handling of large datasets.
• Multilang Tag Processing: Improved support for <span> and {mlang} multilang tags by extracting translations, storing them in mdl_filter_autotranslate_translations, and replacing them with {t:hash} tags. Note that this is a destructive, non-reversible action.
• Scheduled Tasks:
  • Renamed the tagging task to autotranslate_task (runs every 15 minutes) to tag content in configured tables and process multilang tags.
  • Added fetchtranslation_task (runs every 30 minutes) to fetch translations from the configured OpenAI-compatible service and store them with human = 0.
• Database Schema Updates:
  • Enhanced mdl_filter_autotranslate_translations with fields for contextlevel, human, timecreated, timemodified, and timereviewed to support context awareness, human editing, and review tracking.
  • Introduced mdl_filter_autotranslate_hid_cids to map hashes to course IDs, enabling course-based filtering in the management interface.
• Fixed @@PluginFile@@ URL Rewriting: Resolved issues with @@PLUGINFILE@@ URL rewriting by handling it in translation_service.php during translation storage, ensuring stored translations have fully resolved URLs. Updated documentation in text_filter.php, tagging_service.php, and translation_service.php to reflect this fix.
• Fixed Missing hid_cids Entries: Ensured the text_filter updates mdl_filter_autotranslate_hid_cids for all {t:hash} tags, aligning with the behavior of tagcontent_task and preventing missing course mappings on the manage page.
• Fixed Duplicate Wiki Page Content: Addressed an issue where wiki page content (mdl_wiki_pages.cachedcontent) was being tagged with duplicate hashes by reusing existing hashes in the text_filter and improving caching logic.
• Permissions and Capabilities:
  • Added filter/autotranslate:manage capability to allow system-level management of translations, including the "Rebuild Translations" feature (default roles: Manager, Editing Teacher).
  • Added filter/autotranslate:edit capability to allow editing translations within specific courses (default roles: Teacher, Editing Teacher, Manager).
• Performance Optimizations:
  • Implemented batch processing in tagcontent_task.php and rebuild_course_translations.php (default: 20 records per run, configurable via managelimit).
  • Added caching for dynamically tagged content in the text_filter using Moodle’s cache API (taggedcontent cache).
• Updated Documentation: Updated ai-instructions.md and README.md to reflect the new architecture, dynamic tagging functionality, course-specific rebuild feature, and implications for tagging delay and dynamic content handling.
