We have the largest photography community with the Portuguese language in the world… I want to expand and ANYONE in Latin countries accessing it, to see the Forum in Spanish - is there a way so when people in Spain access it they see and read the forum in Spanish automatically?
Our Forum:
Discourse includes an automatic locale detection feature. By enabling the site setting set locale from accept language header , the system will detect the user’s browser language preference (HTTP header) and adjust the interface’s language accordingly.
This is a space we are actively working in right now. We haven’t shared too much about it yet because we’ve been busy laying the foundations and exploring what’s possible to do now with LLMs.
But expect to hear more about what we’re doing here soon.
I will try this - I want to actively start blogging and promoting for those countries as well. Would be nice to have it working and start getting some attention there.
Good to know A I’m sure OAI will change the game for good!
Hey @wendellverli, we just published Content Localization and Automatic Translations for Your Community. This could allow you to translate all your Portuguese posts to Spanish automatically.
You may refer to the corresponding docs on how to set this up. Happy to answer any questions and provide more support in that topic.
