Recently a lot of parentheses with numbers with the hash symbol started appearing on our site (self-hosted). Does anyone know if it’s a bug or a feature that can be turned off (I’ve tried but can’t find where to turn it off :cold_sweat: )? Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks in advance!

Do you have the verbose localization site setting enabled?

Looks like you are running some sort of translation plugin that highlights all translation strings in the UX. Recommend you look through your plugins and remove dev plugins from production.

Hi @pfaffman, Yes, they exist in safe mode. :cold_sweat:.

Hi @sam, I have the discourse translator plugin, but it’s not even enabled… :thinking:

Hi @david, Yes. I disabled it and that solved the issue, thanks!
