Can the texts be localized via content localization?

Yes, it’s the same as any other plugin [discourse/plugins/discourse-rewind/config/locales/client.en.yml at b12e2660f3f3d324638ef55e344f6593e739f41a · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/b12e2660f3f3d324638ef55e344f6593e739f41a/plugins/discourse-rewind/config/locales/client.en.yml)
We will probably need to do something internally to hook up Crowdin, will look into that 👀

Is that good or bad? I feel bad that I have a negative value 😂

The calculation algorithm only makes sense for users who post in English. For example, only a, e, i, o, u, and y are recognized as vowels. In addition, typical word lengths vary in different languages.

I noticed that one of my topics listed had the 📋 not showing correctly in the title. I realize it is hacky of me to use these but I like using emojis in titles, and it always bugs me when they don’t display properly. Is there a reason this appears to be hard?
And oops! A reminder for someone with the privileges to please remove my assignments! I admit I have had a tendency to forget to handle my assigned topics. 😅

It’s not hard, just was missed. Will do a fix.

Yeah I have it too here on Meta…this readability score is probably the most wonky part. Will try and debug why people are getting negative scores and attempt a fix.

Could we have Solved, Gamification, and Topic Voting sections added to it as well?

Emojis are misaligned:
Wouldn’t “Best Forum Friend” work slightly better? It keeps the well-known BFF acronym for wordplay:

Couldn’t reproduce the emoji issue with the same numbers:
Even with giant numbers it’s okay:

It is compatible with [yearly review plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-yearly-review/105713), right?

It should be. One creates topics summarizing the year, while the other is a tab in the user preferences.

correct, they’re entirely separate plugins — no dependence on each other

This font used is not fully international. Some characters get replaced by a default font. Other fonts are fine.

Hello!
This is just awesome, just experienced it myself when logged in here 🙂
Just a quick quuestion.
My community is self hosted, and updated with latest Discourse, but I am not seeing this new feature. Am I supposed to activate it somewhere?
Sorry if this is something obvious to ask, just can’t manage to see it.

What is your definition of “latest Discourse”? There are new commits every day, so it might be that your last update was before rewind was added.
Do you see the plugin at `/admin/plugins`? Is it enabled?
