PW 3.0.151 – Core updates

[ryan]

This week we’ve got a couple of really useful API-side improvements to the core in 3.0.151, among other updates. First we’ll take a look at a new $config setting that lets you predefine image resize settings, enabling you to isolate them from code that outputs them, not unlike how you isolate CSS from HTML. Following that, we’ll introduce and show you how to use a handy addition to our static language translation functions. If you’ve ever come across the term “abandoned translation”, you’ll really like what this adds—

I usually supplied "translation keys" instead of the default translation to translation functions, and translated them in all languages, eg. __('btn_submit') instead of __('Submit'). This way they rarely needed to be changed, only when the translation changed to something completely different.
