Hello Discourse team,
Could you tell me how long it will take for this forum (meta.discourse.org) to update to the latest version when a new version is released? I need this information to check the translation.

In a discussion titled “About latest releases” under the Support category, duy asked how soon meta.discourse.org updates to the latest Discourse version, to verify translations. Moin replied that the forum is very up to date, currently running commit 69c8cf9, and noted that recent translations may not yet be merged. duy then asked how to determine which Discourse version a community is using, to alert admins if outdated. Lilly and Canapin explained that the version is visible in the page source via a meta tag, such as <meta name="generator" content="Discourse 2026.01.0-latest - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version ed28dd9cfe7b80b9af886e7691c7ef36795656aa">. duy thanked them, and Moin added that the version can also be seen in the browser console. The thread provides practical methods for checking Discourse versions, useful for translation verification and community maintenance.
Wlecome to Meta 
This forum is very up to date. The current version is Commits · discourse/discourse · GitHub. So all translations that were merged into Discourse are available here. Translations from the past few days haven’t been merged yet.
Thank you. That’s great to know. I also want to ask if there’s a way to know which version a community running Discourse is using? So if their version is too outdated, I can notify the administrator.
A meta tag can be found in the HTML code of Discourse’s pages. Example:
<meta name="generator" content="Discourse 2026.01.0-latest - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version ed28dd9cfe7b80b9af886e7691c7ef36795656aa">
