> Hello there - as a plugin used in our Discourse instance is no longer updates (Multilingual), and some of its features are supported in the newer versions of Discourse, we wished to use a migration script in order to move values in the database to new places.

What are you trying to do? If you’re still by to use discourse then it’s not a migration. What do you want to move where?

If you just want to move to an up to date discourse then you can likely just remove the plugin and upgrade.

If you’re not using Discourse anymore then it’s not a Discourse migration script you want.
