+
+_Release date: 2026-08-17_
+
+**Added**
+
+* Localized descriptions: catalog rows and the "View details" modal show the description in the logged-in admin's language (`get_user_locale()`, falling back to the site locale), using the new `description_translations` map from Core 1.8.0+; missing translations fall back to the English default.
+
+**Changed**
+
+* Plugin version 1.3.0 → 1.3.1. No database schema changes (no custom tables).
+
+**Compatibility**
+
+* WordPress: 4.4 - 7.1 (scan-verified: wp-compat clean from 4.4)
+* PHP: 8.0 - 8.5 (scan-verified: PHPCompatibility + manual feature audit)
