Funtastic Ficus – New updates to the Taia app

funtastic ficus update

Maybe you’re asking yourself why Funtastic Ficus? What’s the point of naming an update? Well, it’s become kind of a tradition at Taia to label every update with a unique name. And, as you might have noticed, it’s alphabetical. Since this is the 6th big update to our app, it’s only appropriate that we name it something starting with the letter F. Thus, Funtastic Ficus was born.

At this point, we’d like to say a huge thank you and kudos to our one and only Alenka, since a lot of her suggestions helped us to get to where we are today. Her keen eye for detail is one of Taia’s biggest assets when it comes to making our app better.

Our app is constantly evolving as we want to create a platform that will make your life – when it comes to your translation needs – easier. 

Check out what you can expect from the new update! 🙂

Project Draft (analysis) Screen

Project draft page redesigned:

Site header including project name, status, languages and CAT analysis results.
Main controls including setup steps for ordering a project (service selection, additional services and delivery date).
Order summary sidebar that includes the price breakdown and order button.
Delivery time selection and price update.

You are now able to select a specific delivery date instead of only having 3 delivery options to choose from. Faster delivery dates are subject to an additional charge and the delivery time is always before 5.00 PM GMT (18:00 CET) on the selected date.

Login, Sign up

Google reCAPTCHA v2 replaced with v3. Most users no longer need to click the reCAPTCHA "Not a robot" checkbox, as the check is done automatically in the background first.
