When a browser translation add-on rewrites the topic page, some post images stop rendering. If I disable the translator, all images show and the domains are correct. This looks like the translator mutates the cooked HTML in a way that bypasses Discourse’s upload URL rewriting/lazy-load logic.
Environment
Discourse: 3.6.0.beta1-dev
Hosting: standard Docker app container
Uploads: Cloudflare R2
With the translator disabled , reloading the same topic renders all images normally. Right-click “Copy image address” then shows the expected CDN URL.

I am not a native English speaker, this post may contain grammatical errors, etc. If you find any, please feel free to edit it, thank you.

I noticed that the address bar changes, but the page content is not modified.
Is this a known bug? Is there any way to fix it?
My recommendation would be to use our native translation
