Corrections on issue encountered with TinyMCE
The declination generator does not delete former declinations anymore
Display of the product reference on the product page
Bug fixed on delivery number

About the translations

Our tool redesigned

Our PrestaShop online translation tool has recently known a redesign and is now accessible only by languages managers appointed during our last session of "recruitment". They are now in charge of our software translations in their own language, translations that can be downloaded via our download page.

Please note that we changed the ISO code of some languages available on our Download page. Indeed, some of them used the country code (ISO 3166). We changed them to the language code (ISO 639-1).
