Thanks for the quick fix. One part of this report remains open after #44262, as far as the diff shows.
With the change, a blocked detection is logged, and for topics it is limited to two attempts a day. The item itself still ends up without a locale, so it is never translated and stays counted as awaiting detection indefinitely. Nothing in the admin interface shows which items these are.
Three cases came up during one backfill of about 6,700 posts and their topics on this site, all on gemini-3.5-flash-lite with PROHIBITED_CONTENT, and all harmless: a topic title, a one-sentence post, and a post consisting of a single link.
Two possible remedies:
- A fallback locale when detection is blocked, for example the author’s interface locale, or for a reply the locale of its topic. In the one case here where the locale was then set by hand and the item left to the backfill, the translation model translated it without objection.
- Failing that, a list or count of items whose detection was blocked on the translation admin page, so that the locale can be set manually.
