I have tried to edit the site title under customize in other language than English and when I load the page the site title still shows as English. Changing default locale has no effect whatsoever, the title and the description stays the same no matter what language I select.

can you take a look at this @Falco ?

Those are site settings right? They are locale independent AFAIK, so you will need to manually edit and fill in the content in the language of your preference. Not sure why you got the expectation of automatic translation, can you expand a little bit on that?

Sorry I don’t understand what is your objective here. Do you want a different title for each locale?

yes, exactly that what I want @Falco Different title and description for each locale, because I want to enable set locale from accept language header.

Oh I see. I don’t think we support that at the moment.

None of our site settings are keyed on the locale, only the UI strings support that (the ones you can change under the customize admin screen). This is a reasonable feature request, but it may be a tricky one to get right.

I change js.login.header_title activate set locale from accept language header and it will load the correct header_title according to the locale, but not changing the title and the description? There is no way to overwrite the UI version using the locale from the server and client language specific files? I want the title and the description to be other language not English when the forum is used by Spanish people. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

The problem is that enabling set locale from accept language header will show everything in Spanish except the title and the description of the site. If another user from Turkey loading the site, that user will see everything in Turkish but not the title and the description which is always remains English which is a big problem.

While Discourse can be used for multi-lingual communities, either by giving each language a dedicated category or by relying heavily in the Discourse Translator plugin, Discourse is not, and at the moment doesn’t aim to be, a software that can handle a 100% localized experience using a single instance. That gives you two options: Work with an okay but not 100% experience in a single instance. Have a different Discourse instance for each locale your company/service servers. We have customers using both solutions, but each has it’s ups and downs. There are many discussions on the subject on the Topics tagged multi-lingual tag.

You can fill those site settings in Spanish, and they will show Spanish and Spanish only.
