I translated this post manually before adding LLM for translation.

Can you test another topics?

So how should translation be working? My main language for site is English. I would like users to post or read in Russian. So what should be done to use this feature?

Should user open an English post, switch interface to Russian and there should be a button to translate in Russian?

There are no other public topics.

Usually, users see the site in their preferred language by default, thanks to the `Set locale from accept language header` site setting.

You can temporarily add a few new topics or posts to test if auto-translation from LLMs is working. Make sure the new content is clearly in English.

No. Users should see interface and content in Russian if content is either LLM-translated or manually translated. If they reply in Russian, Discourse will auto-detect the language and translate that post to English for English users.

Right, posts in that category aren’t translated. Can you see if there are any translation-related errors in `https://simpleit.blog/logs`?

I enabled General category and created a testing post - This post is in English for testing LLM translation

Where in the GUI I can find logs?

You gotta remove that `temperature` parameter. That’s what’s making the LLM requests for translations fail.

It looks like it is working now.

Just want some clarification. Is it language of interface related to LLM translation? Is it translating only from default English to Russian or both directions? Where LLM translation is saved? Is it saved internally for some time?

Thanks

Good, yes, I see translations as well.

Translations are multi-directional. They are saved in the database, they are stored indefinitely. If posts get edited, then a retranslation is scheduled.

Probably it was another issue with this translation. My test posts were not public (everyone one was not in Security settings for category) and I enable only public translation.

It looks like there is another problem. I created a topic in Russian and it was translated in such way.

Original

Translation to English

It look like it is giving reasoning inside translation.
