! style="" |Multi-language support

| style="" |''The translation feature in BlueSpice requires a DeepL API-Key. This is not provided by BlueSpice.''

'''On-the-fly translation:'''

BlueSpice can now include a translation link for users who have set a language in their preferences that is different from the installation language (content language) of the wiki.

'''Translation transfer:'''

It is now possible for a wiki farm or for at least two separate wiki instances without the farm module to send translated articles from a source wiki to multiple target wikis.

The namespaces in the different language wikis can be mapped directly in the wiki.

! style="" | PDF Export

| style="" |The PDF export is now based on a new PDF processor backend.

Administrators can create and maintain multiple PDF [[templates]] directly in the wiki. Server-access is no longer required.

[[BlueSpice 5/Content changes|Review the content changes]] to determine if you need to make adjustments to your wiki.

=== Replacement of extjs with oojs ===

The visual output of grid-based elements is now provided by the framework [[mediawikiwiki:OOjs|OOjs]]. It replaces [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:ExtJSBase|Ext JS]]. This should not affect the overall functionality of the grid features.
