I’m trying to enable automatic content localization (AI translation backfill) on my self-hosted Discourse instance and I’ve followed all the available guidelines, but I’m not seeing any translations appear. Here’s what I’ve done so far: Enabled content localization enabled Selected at least one l…

I have the a similar problem after making all the same changes in my hosted instance. In this case I’m using openai 4o. It seems to translate only the past 3 or 4 posts and nothing further. I still have plenty of credit available on my api key.

Hello, I think I’m running into the same issue. I’ve followed all the steps in the guide ( https://meta.discourse.org/t/content-localization-manual-and-automatic-with-discourse-ai/370969 ), including setting AI_translation_backfill_hourly_rate = 50.

anything in /logs ? try to go to /sidekiq/scheduler and manually trigger all jobs that contain “LocalizationBackfill” and “LocaleDetectionBackfill”

Solved! Do not use GPT-5 unless you have not verified your organisation in OpenAi-Organization settings insert your organisation Id ( https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/general ) in discourse ai settings disable temperature settings in discourse ai llm settings

At the moment GPT-5 is so slow that its use shound be targeted to different type things. But sure, that is matter of taste and it depends. But I’m using Chat GPT/GPT-5 in Finnish every now and then. Earlier 4x-series where actually quite good with a small and hard language such Finnish. Now… I wou…

Thanks for the screenshots. As mentioned by @GrahamM ai_translation_backfill_hourly_rate needs to be set by your site admin as it is a hidden setting. Other than what’s mentioned in the FAQ , could you folks check - Check the graph at https://your-site.com/admin/plugins/discourse-ai/ai-translati…

@joo: Ik en @tyronejv gebruiken OpenAI. Is dat bij jou ook het geval?
Misschien heeft het probleem te maken met hun API-verbinding.
