So, when i was ranked to member, i decided to modify my settings. Because i’m french, i set the language the french. I decided to do the advanced tutorial but when i did @discobot in Private Message It was like that:
(Means Hi! To see what i can do, do @discobot)
**But** i already did it. So after 1 hour i decided to come back in english and… IT WORKED :
(C’ant Put more than more images ☹ )
So… Yea it pretty much it :discourse:
I hope it fixed,

For the Advanced tutorial, you can type this _@discobot start advanced tutorial_.
I don’t know how to translate that to French. Sorry.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say `@discobot display help`.

That said, in French, `@discobot afficher l'aide` suggests calling `@discobot`, and `@discobot` alone doesn’t trigger anything 🤔
Hi @neil, I think line 123 of [discourse/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/config/locales/server.fr.yml at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/config/locales/server.fr.yml),
`Bonjour ! Pour voir ce que je peux faire, dites @%{discobot_username} .`
should be
`Bonjour ! Pour voir ce que je peux faire, dites @%{discobot_username} %{help_trigger}.`

Yes looks like a bad translation. It needs to be fixed in Transifex (soon CrowdIn) though. Relevant discussion:

> Lots of fixes and changes were included in the last 2 or 3 beta versions. Let me know if you find an issue or a change that you disagree with. This is the main challenge. I would say the best is to stick with the glossary and existing translations, even if we don’t fully agree with them. Just like developers should follow the coding style of the project they just joined. However, Transifex is not helping here: its “Suggestions” tab is showing old or deleted translations that are no longer rel…

I found a new one 😅
`@discobot afficher l'aide` doesn’t trigger the help and then neither gives the tracks
it is probably because of the ’ ,
removing it from discourse\_narrative\_bot.track\_selector.help\_trigger solves it 🙂
