Following tonight’s update, my Chinese administrative interface appears as follows: [The image displays a comparison among three zh_CN.admin.dashboard configuration file sections, emphasizing version verification and deployment details, with a green checkmark indicating successful validation. (AI-generated title)] [The image depicts a dark-themed software interface featuring multiple menu options related to 'zh_CN.admin.config.' (由 AI 生成标题)] However, on the homepage, everything appears normal: [The image shows a menu interface in a dark theme, with options such as "About," "Themes," "My Posts," "Review," "Admin," and "More." (由 AI 生成标题)] Switching to Japanese and English, the interface functions correctly: [The image displays a Dropbox dashboard menu with options like Dashboard, Search, Users, Groups, All Site Settings, What's New?, and Update Discourse. (由 AI 生成标题)] [The image shows a navigation menu in Japanese with options such as Dashboard, Search, User Settings, and Discourse Updates. (由 AI 生成标题)] It seems that only the Simplified Chinese management interface is malfunctioning; other languages display correctly. I am unsure of the cause of this issue. How can I resolve it effectively?

I have already done this, but the display remains unchanged and identical to the original.:folded_hands:

Translations were updated 14 hours ago. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/32216 I see that your installed version (0ea6ecd84a) already include those updated translations. I changed my setting to zh_CN and it looks correct on my instance [Screenshot 2025-04-29 at 10.01.57 am] Did you change any site settings or installed new plugin or just updated to latest version?

I have updated Discourse to commit 1ab57f6910, yet the display remains abnormal. I performed the update through the administrator backend. Should I access the server directly to execute commands for updating, or perhaps update other components? [The image shows a configuration interface for a trading platform, with the installed version displayed as 3.5.0.beta3-dev, highlighted in green with a smiley face. (由 AI 生成标题)]

I just updated my instance to exactly the same version, and it looks correct. [Screenshot 2025-04-29 at 10.58.44 am] I am curious if your assets are cached. If you are using Google Chrome, could you please go to the inspector and open the “Sources” tab? You should be able to see a link to the zh_CN/admin.js file. [Screenshot 2025-04-29 at 11.14.59 am] Then, if you copy and paste that link into another tab, can you please check if you have the dashboard translations? [Screenshot 2025-04-29 at 11.16.18 am] Sorry for the quite technical debugging. The bug you are experiencing is quite unusual.

Thank you. I followed your instructions, and when I locate the corresponding link in Simplified Chinese and enter it into my browser, I am greeted with this screen (the obscured part reveals my website’s domain). It appears that Cloudflare has blocked access. [The image shows a web browser displaying an error message that reads, "Sorry, you have been blocked," indicating an inability to access the intended website due to a block. (由 AI 生成标题)] However, upon switching to Traditional Chinese and locating the same link, entering it into the browser yields the same result as you showed. [This image displays a code editor with JavaScript code related to group management and email functionalities. (由 AI 生成标题)] In my personal assessment, it seems that Cloudflare’s Web Application Firewall (WAF) or similar security measures might have been triggered, resulting in the blockage. What perplexes me greatly is why only Simplified Chinese is being obstructed. I am unsure of the underlying cause.

I have resolved this issue. After disabling the active WAF in the Cloudflare dashboard, the Simplified Chinese interface displayed correctly. However, I am uncertain which specific rule was triggered. I am also unsure where to find a suitable set of Cloudflare WAF rules tailored for Discourse.

The underlying cause of this issue is as follows: Within the administrator’s simplified Chinese link, there exists an instance of “aaa.” Consequently, my Cloudflare WAF (Web Application Firewall) rule set includes a restriction that blocks “aaa.” [image] [The image shows a user interface for creating a filter in a web traffic analysis tool, where you can specify a URI path and select options to include or exclude data based on its contents. (由 AI 生成标题)] As a result, Cloudflare’s security measures are triggered, leading to the frontend requests being outright blocked before reaching the backend. Although it may seem quite peculiar, this is essentially the situation: :frowning_face_with_open_mouth:

After the update, Chinese management interface is bad

I recommend trying a console rebuild just in case.
