AI Commentary on German Translations

A user in our community noticed that some German translations are coming through a little funky. They’re adding what I would call AI commentary, or what the AI is thinking during the request.

See the English version:

But when translated to German, it includes the AI’s thought process:

In addition, their post in German is doing it when I view it in English.

Heya @putty,

We’ve had a look at this last night and made an update to the agent. Ideally now it would be more strictly formatted.

This is the related update that has been deployed: DEV: Use structured output for translations by nattsw · Pull Request #39079 · discourse/discourse · GitHub

I’ve also fixed that particular post for you, and wiped out other related faulty titles and posts based on any “Thinking” / “Translate” -type texts.

For extra context, it appears a recent prompt and feature update a few days back (to make texts less formal, which causes some oddity in a German setting) might have caused this to lapse. Interestingly, this issue doesn’t happen on our hosted model nor Gemini.
