Feature Request: Allow Users to Localize Only Their Own Topics

After reading the official guide Content Localization — Manual and Automatic with Discourse AI, I would like to request an additional permission option.

Problem

The current setting “Content localization allowed groups” gives users in allowed groups the ability to localize any topic/post on the site.
For many communities, this is broader than needed.

Requested Feature

Add an option to:

Allow users to create or update localization only for content they authored.

Use Case

Users should be able to localize their own topics (manual or AI-assisted) without having permissions to modify localization on other users’ posts.

This would provide safer and more precise control for multilingual communities.

Thanks for considering!
