It will be able to edit the Admin View directly out of your Component area. That is a nice new feature which will come in very handy.

If it happens that we have missed a field during the upgrade by not converting it to the new Sub Form layout; there is a lot of data checks all around JCB at this stage which; when a view is opened, runs through all those Fields, and make sure that it has been changed and converted.

It does that again, it runs through all the Fields and it makes sure that it is in the right format. Therefore the compiling should work as before.<<<

### New Feature - Translation Checker
The new features we've added is this [00:09:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQrLBYhvGyA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h09m23s) Translation Checker. Which checks how many strings there is within your component. And how many you've translated for this specific version. New language available for the Admin View, the Admin System View, the Site View. Again for the another Language, Admin View, Admin System View, and the Site View. Giving you a little feedback on your progress. Because we realized that this area of JCB is not [00:09:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQrLBYhvGyA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h09m59s) may be utilized as much as it can be. We making some awareness. This area is available.

One of the new features that have been added is this Translation Checker(Warning) which checks how many strings are within the component and how many were translated for this specific version, if a New language is available for the Admin View, the Admin System View, the Site View, and again for another Language, Admin View, Admin System View, and the Site View. This gives feedback on your progress. This area of JCB is maybe not utilized as much as it can be.
### Becomes Active If Language Is Setup
[00:10:08](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQrLBYhvGyA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h10m08s)<<<<
It only comes and becomes active if you've got some Language setup. You need to have some Languages in your Languages area. And you need to have have compiled that component at least once before. [00:10:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQrLBYhvGyA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h10m26s) Because the Language string stored in JCB found on the Language Translations is only generated once you've compiled it, at least your Component once. Then it links the Component Language strings to JCB. You can translate them into those Languages that you created. The other problem which you saw regarding to the Back-up folder, because I haven't setup a Backup folder for this JCB install. It'll tell me if I leave the set to yes and I compile. It'll tell me that it couldn't move that Backup file, because the Temporary folder and the Backup [00:11:11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQrLBYhvGyA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h11m11s) folder is the same place. It's saying it couldn't move the file to the same location. That means this is not an error. It's just a miss configuration. We haven't setup the Back-up folder to be a separate from the Temporary folder. If you need some more help regarding the Translation Manager, please go watch this tutorial. Here we do give you a notice the that you can in the options area of JCB, [00:11:42](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQrLBYhvGyA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h11m42s) you can change the percentage of translation required before a translation is added. Currently it's set to 50%. You can change that to any percentage that you like. That is creating a Component with the new upgraded JCB and compiled that. We can go back to the Demo. We can see that the component was built. And everything is working as expected. [00:12:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQrLBYhvGyA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h12m18s)
If you run into any issues that you think is related to this upgrade. And you have already cleared your browser memory. Also note that I'm using Firefox 64-bit. Then please [00:12:49](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQrLBYhvGyA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h12m49s) open an issue on GitHub. We'll try to get back to you and see if we can get this resolved. So far my experience is that this upgrade is taken JCB into a very powerful position, where it is having no Repeatable Fields anywhere in the Component. All its Repeatable Fields have been converted, and is only Sub Forms. [00:13:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQrLBYhvGyA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h13m19s) We've added some nice shortcuts like you seen to these decoupled areas. You can access them directly without going through the Component View itself. If you wanted to work on, for example, the Component Dashboard, you want to make some changes to the dashboard, or you want to work on the Admin Views, you can click on that buttob underneath the view and work on the Admin Views without going to the Component directly. [00:13:54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQrLBYhvGyA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h13m54s) Which I think is very nice convenience shortcut that will make our life a little easier.
