The new feature in this release: if you have Translation / Transliteration / Audio configured for your deck, those transformations will be added automatically as you edit your notes, or as you add a new note.

Keep in mind Language Tool remembers your notes by their Note Type and Deck combination. As long as you've added a Translation, a Transliteration, or some Audio to your note at least once, it will now be added automatically whenever you add a new card through the Add Card screen.

In the screenshot below, only the Chinese field was typed in manually. The English translation, the Jyutping (Cantonese Romanization) in the Romanization field, the sound in the Sound field were all added automatically !

If you want to know what transformation rules are applied to a given note, select the note in the browser, then go to menu Language Tools -> Show Settings for Selected Notes. You can see what transformations are done on what fields, and you can also disable the automatic update as you type.
