Note:
  • The Kintone Administration and Administration pages will now be available in Thai and Brazilian Portuguese.
  • The Localization feature does not currently allow you to set names in these languages.
    However, you can display names in Thai and Brazilian Portuguese by entering them as the default in the Localization settings.
  • If you select the option to Use Web browser settings in Kintone's language settings, and your Web browser is configured for Thai or Brazilian Portuguese, Kintone will automatically display in the selected language with this update.

API Updates

New Enhancements in the Get Installed Plugins API
Users can now retrieve detailed plugin descriptions directly through the API. Additionally, you can execute the REST API by specifying a plugin ID, making accessing information about your installed plugins more straightforward than ever.

New Features in Development

Our Kintone development team is constantly working on new features.
These new features will be added to Kintone's New Features in Development without your prior notice.
However, you can enable the new features by navigating to Kintone Administration, selecting Update Options, and deciding on New Features in Development settings. This gives you complete control over the features you want to enable, as they will not be enabled automatically.

Enhancements in Progress: Upgrading the File Import Page

Our Kintone development team is currently working on a new file import page. This page will include an option to choose whether to add only new records or update existing ones while also adding any new ones that do not exist. This enhancement is designed to simplify the process of setting up file imports that involve record updates.
Previously, the file import settings page only offered the Key to bulk update option for updating record data.
These changes are part of the App Settings Facelift initiative. Additionally, the layout and design have been updated to improve the ease of setting up file imports.
