Teaching AI a new language
Have you ever wondered how apps are translated into other languages? Typically, this involves sending thousands of words to human translators who carefully translate every button, message, and menu item. This is not only time-consuming, but also difficult to maintain consistency in translation. Phrases that appear in different places may be translated differently each time, which can be confusing for users. We're trying something new: using AI to translate Padlet. How it works Our new approach combines the speed and consistency of AI with human expertise. First, we select a language for which there is an existing translation—either one we speak or one that has previously been translated by humans. This allows us to verify the quality of the AI output. Using ChatGPT o1, we translate all text in Padlet, using existing translations as examples. AI translates similar phrases consistently across the platform. These translations are then reviewed by linguists to ensure they are accurate and sound natural to native speakers. This hybrid process gives us the best results: consistent translations generated by AI that allow us to quickly release new features, while human experts add important nuance and cultural understanding that machines cannot replicate. Test in two languages We start this new translation system with two very different languages. Urdu : A major global language that will make Padlet more accessible to millions of users. Urdu’s rich linguistic features and unique script make it a perfect case for testing our AI-assisted translation process. Shakespearean English : A fun addition we’ve been wanting to implement since 2020. Now, with AI, we can transform modern English into clear, theatrical language that adds drama without compromising comprehension. Early Results The results were very promising. The AI translations were surprisingly consistent. Whenever a phrase appeared in multiple places, it was translated the same way every time. This allowed our linguists to focus on fine-tuning these consistent translations instead of starting from scratch. Try it yourself Want to explore Padlet in these new languages? Just visit your account settings and select your preferred language from the menu. Whether you want to use Padlet in Urdu or add some Shakespearean drama to your board, the choice is yours. Future Prospects With the addition of Urdu and Shakespearean English, Padlet now supports 44 languages. This is just the beginning of our journey with AI-assisted translation. As we improve this process, we will be able to add more languages more efficiently, making Padlet a truly accessible platform for users around the world.

Copy protection
A new content protection feature is introduced. Content creation takes time and effort. Whether you’re recording detailed video feedback for your students or sharing confidential documents with your team, you want your content to stay where it’s meant to be. For this reason, we are introducing Copy Protection, a new setting that lets you control how your content can be accessed and shared. When this feature is enabled on Padlet, visitors will not be able to download files or copy your work. Protected Items When copy protection is enabled, only Padlet administrators can: Download attachments to posts Export Padlet to PDF, Image, CSV Make a remake or copy Direct link access to attachments Duplicate or transfer a post This comprehensive protection helps ensure that your content stays exactly where it’s intended. How to set up Enabling copy protection is as easy as a few clicks: Open the settings panel of the board or sandbox Find “Copy Protection” under “Content” Select "Disable All" from the drop-down menu Real-world benefits This feature is especially valuable when: Teachers conducting video discussions who want to prevent the recording from being downloaded Language instructors who want their students to interact directly with content rather than using translation tools Teams that need to keep confidential information only within the platform Anyone who wants more control over their intellectual property Copy protection is currently available on both the board and the sandbox. We built this feature because you asked for it. It was one of the most requested additions, and we’re happy to help keep your content safe. Please keep sending us your feedback – it helps us make Padlet a better service for everyone.

Select the tools to display in the sandbox
The first day we tested Padlet Sandbox internally, we were in an all-hands video call. We thought it would be a quick demo, but everyone was so excitedly doodling, posting GIFs, sharing memes that we didn’t hear a single word of the presentation. We were just trying out new features. If adults can do this, can you imagine what would happen if we gave these tools to middle school students? That's why we decided that some restrictions were necessary, and as a result, we launched the Sandbox Tool Restriction feature this time. Introducing new features In the future, you can choose to use only the tools you need for collaboration. When holding an idea meeting, you can turn on only the memo function, when creating a photo album, you can leave only the upload function, and when taking a writing class, you can turn off all distracting elements such as drawing and searching. When you turn off the tool, it will disappear from the toolbar and the shortcut keys will not work. This setting applies equally to both web and mobile, and when you change it, it will be reflected to all participants immediately. However, the administrator who created the sandbox can use all the functions at any time, so don't worry. Set up Create a new sandbox Open Settings In the 'Content' menu, find the 'Available Tools' item Just select or deselect the tools you want and you're done. Tip : Want to know exactly what your collaborators will actually see? Open the sandbox in a secret window. As an admin, you can always see all the tools in the regular window, but in secret mode, you can experience it from your collaborators’ perspective. Use Cases We’ve learned from experience that it’s easy to get distracted when there are too many options. Here’s how different groups use this feature to stay focused: Teachers can create note-only sandboxes for intensive writing practice. Teams can turn off all search options and conduct distraction-free brainstorming sessions. Event organizers can create a dedicated gallery for uploading submissions. Workshop facilitators can create sandboxes where only drawing is allowed for visual thinking. Cat owners can disable the laser pointer feature to prevent damage to their computer screens Future plans This is just the beginning of customizing the sandbox. We are working on attachment placeholders that will allow you to request specific types of attachments, which will make the sandbox even more useful. Until then, experiment with different tool combinations, and if your next company demo goes perfectly as planned... well, that's fun, right?

Padlet video recording improvements
Keep your video submissions focused and fun by using time limits and AR filters. We’ve added two new features to our video recorder: a recording time limit and an augmented reality (AR) filter. One is designed to keep you focused, the other is designed to add some fun. This is for previous Flip users who are looking for a new platform. The Art of Time Management You can now set a maximum recording time to keep your video submissions on topic. This recording limit applies to videos in posts and comments. You can choose from presets starting from 15 seconds. The maximum time limit depends on your subscription type. Free: 2 minutes Gold: 5 minutes Platinum: 15 minutes Team, Classroom, School: 30 minutes If you are a Padlet creator, you can record up to the maximum time limit for your account. Filters that add personality The video recorder now includes AR filters that you can apply to your recordings. Because sometimes you want to look professional, and sometimes you want to look like you’re scuba diving in the Pacific Ocean. Check out all the filters here . How to get there There are several ways to find this feature. Follow the steps below or check out our help for more information. From the post: Open the video recorder and click on Recording Limits. From that menu, you can adjust the limits and turn off the AR filter. In Board Settings: Go to Post Fields > Attachments > Video Recorder > Custom to adjust recording limits and whether AR filters are available. In Sandbox Settings: You can set your preferences under Allowed Tools > Video Recorder > Custom. These features are available on the web, whether you use the board or the sandbox. Video recording limit settings are also available on mobile. For Flip users These new features, recording limits and AR filters, are part of the tools for video discussions. If you’re moving from Flip, check out this video that shows all the video features that Padlet can support your video discussions. We’re committed to providing space for your video needs. Future plans Let us know what AR filters you'd like to see next. Until then, enjoy more engaging and entertaining video discussions.
