Hi there,

the upload inside a thread does not work if the language is **de** (german). If you switch back to english the upload works fine.

**The Bug:**  
Instead of the image it only appears a text **XYZ.png wird hochgeladen…** instead of the image.

The locales seems correct to me:  
German: {{filename}} wird hochgeladen…  
English: Uploading {{filename}}…

Maybe one have to switch the order from **{{filename}} wird hochgeladen…** to **Wird hochgeladen: {{filename}}** because of a possible syntax issue (maybe it’s expecting the variable {{filename}} at the beginning)..?

Looks like it works only with English.

Seems to be a regression since

Interesting, so other languages also don’t work. Didn’t expected that 😮

Gosh. Sorry about that. Fixing it…

**EDIT:** Here’s the fix.

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/a6934a200efcc6d261454e545175e76ef0880ef9](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/a6934a200efcc6d261454e545175e76ef0880ef9)

Had to remove the filename since dealing with encodings in JavaScript is such a PITA that it’ll have to wait till after the release 😞
