I’m attempting to modify certain strings on the user preferences page. I navigated to Admin → Site Texts and searched for the relevant keys. However, I was unable to customize the specific text I was looking for as it told me there were no texts found. [image] I am reasonably certain that the key…

Very strange, I’m able to pull up the key [image] [תמונה] pangbo: Furthermore, I attempted to search for other strings such as user.username.title, user.preferences.title, and filters.latest.title, and no results either. If you right click and open the browser inspector, are there any erro…

[image] It looks like there are no related errors, and based on the request results, it may be a backend issue. Although I don’t believe the plugins I’ve installed have modified this particular area, I will attempt to remove all unofficial plugins later to see if that resolves the problem.

@sam , thank you for your response. I’ve deployed three Discourse instances using different methods, and all exhibit the same issue, leading me to believe it’s not an installation problem. Upon re-examining my plugins, I discovered that one of them created a locale file (plugins/XXXX/config/locales/…

Nice catch, thanks for updating us on the solution @pangbo . [תמונה] pangbo: Discourse already has a design for inspecting locale files, as seen here We could definitely add a check here, although IIRC this checker is only used during RSpec tests. Would that have helped in your case? Definit…

You are correct. I made an unwarranted assumption that these checks would execute at runtime. Upon searching the GitHub repository, it appears these checks are invoked solely within a rake task: lib/tasks/i18n.rake main all_errors = LocaleFileChecker.new.check(l…
