Hi everyone, I enabled Language Switcher and set all the parameters and settings exactly as explained in the tutorial, unfortunately it only translates the words of the forum but does not translate the text of the posts, so the text of the posts remains unchanged in the default language, why this problem?
AI-generated summary
In the Support category under tags content-localization, user serialcode reports that while the Language Switcher translates forum interface words, it fails to translate post content. serialcode expects automatic translation similar to other forums where switching languages changes post text. User asa initially asks if the issue involves system user posts. Falco clarifies that automatic post translation requires Discourse AI to be configured with an LLM available for translation, asking for a screenshot of the /admin/plugins/discourse-ai/ai-translations page. serialcode admits to being unaware of this setup and asks if enabling Discourse AI is a prerequisite for the Language Switcher to function for posts. asa provides a link to the official Discourse Meta tutorial for manual and automatic configuration steps here.
Are you trying to translate posts from System Users?
Yes, like on this site, you put Chinese and it shows you the posts in Chinese, put French and it shows you the posts in French, etc… I tried to activate the Language Switcher but unfortunately the translation for the posts doesn’t work, I want to do it like on this forum!
Automatic translation requires Discourse AI configured and enabled with a LLM available for translation. Did you do all that? Can you share a screenshot of the page at /admin/plugins/discourse-ai/ai-translations ?
no,i don’t even know this setup existed, so… after I configure discourse-ai I also need to enable the language switcher, right? In case of any errors with the configuration, I’ll send you a screenshot.
Here you will find all the steps for configuration
