AI translation backfill not working after all settings configured

What is your ai_translation_backfill_hourly_rate – can you try 20 to begin with? It would help if you could share all the values.

Are all your posts public and not in restricted categories? If ai_translation_backfill_limit_to_public_content is disabled, you won’t have any posts translated.

SiteSetting.ai_translation_verbose_logs=true will show some details when it’s successful.

Alternatively if you have data explorer, you can try the following to see

  • if there are any LLM calls to translate
  • or if post locales are getting detected but the posts are not translated
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM ai_api_audit_logs
WHERE feature_name = 'translation'
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM posts
WHERE (locale IS NOT NULL AND locale <> '')
