Content Localization - Manual and Automatic with Discourse AI

It seems that once I use this feature, I can only see the language I’ve selected.

You can use the toggle button on the timeline to toggle between seeing the translation in your interface language and seeing the original.

Viewing localized content

Localized welcome topic on meta.discourse.org

For viewers of localized content (all site visitors), they may cursor over the indicator next to the post’s date to view the original language of the post. This indicator only shows up if the post is not in their language.

If a user wishes to only see original content, they may use the toggle above the topic timeline to disable localizations for the whole site.

This feature is truly perfect. Thank you so much for your reply. You have perfectly solved my issue. If I were to say anything else, it might be that it will take a little time for my users to get familiar with the icons, because my users are all around 60 years old.

FYI I’ve noticed that if you edit a post right after you posted it (where it doesn’t count it as an edit) it would not re translate… the translate seems that got requested while I was editing and once I saved it was already translated with the original version

Another issue I just noticed today is that system messages from automation (like a weekly summary posted on a topic) is not being translated

We do not translate bot posts, i.e. users with id less than or equal to 0.

Bots create many posts automatically in various parts of the app, and we don’t translate them on purpose. I would suggest to change the author user to a non-system user if you need the post to be translated.

Excellent insight (and workaround)! I had no idea ! thanks!
