Hi @Moin, sorry for the long delay in our response while we were looking into this. The Search Banner component came with built-in translations for many languages (German, Spanish, French, Chinese, etc.) in its locale files. These weren’t stored as TranslationOverrides in the database - they were part of the component itself. The migration script from Search Banner → Welcome Banner only migrates translation overrides (custom site texts that admins have explicitly set), not the theme component’s built-in translations, which is what you were seeing here: > [@Moin](#): > > ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/a/b/8/ab85d5e81e387a0a10f85c981015a744732a9123.png) I’m sorry for the oversight on our part and that this made migration less smooth! --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/deprecating-the-search-banner-theme-component/379322)._
