Translate with AI
We know that many of our existing Prismic users have multi-language websites and, therefore, many locales. That’s why we're excited to introduce our new AI-powered translation feature. This tool is designed to simplify the process of creating multilingual content, saving time and resources.
Note, this feature is currently in beta, but here’s how you can get access! 👇

This feature not only translates your content but also maintains formatting, links, and even preserves localized links to pages in other locales that have been previously created. This ensures a consistent look across all language versions of your site.
Slice Machine support for Next.js 15 and Svelte 5
Keeping pace with the evolving web development landscape, Slice Machine now fully supports the release candidates for Next.js 15 and Svelte 5. These updates introduce new features to enhance your website's performance and user experience.
Next.js 15: Partial Prerendering for optimized performance
Next.js’ Partial Prerendering combines static and dynamic rendering on the same page. This can significantly improve loading times for personalized content, such as recommended products on an e-commerce site.

Svelte 5: Introducing 'runes' for enhanced performance
Svelte 5 brings 'runes,' a new feature that boosts website performance. Runes are an improved design of Svelte’s reactivity system. With runes, Svelte is simpler to write and more capable of handling complex needs.

Streamlined asset management with the new media library
The media library is now available to all Prismic users, bringing powerful organization tools to your fingertips. This feature addresses one of our most requested improvements, offering a seamless way to manage your digital assets.
Tagging and filtering made easy
The new media library introduces an intuitive tagging system that allows for effortless organization of your assets. For instance, you can quickly tag all your e-commerce images in a few short steps:
- Use the search bar to filter relevant images
- Bulk-select the desired assets
- Create or select a tag from the dropdown menu
