For some topics, the content localization shows raw HTML or json instead of for instance an image or the TOC.

When I switch to English or German, it goes away.

Examples:

## topic 370000

- [Content Localization and Automatic Translations for Your Community](https://meta.discourse.org/t/content-localization-and-automatic-translations-for-your-community/370000)

Happens in Dutch, Japanese and Arab but not in French, German or English.

## Topic 379731

- [Current Projects - August 2025](https://meta.discourse.org/t/current-projects-august-2025/379731)

Portuguese shows json:

Dutch shows HTML:

Thanks a ton, I’ve fixed the topics manually but will also have a look at the logs and prompts.

I think this is no longer an issue given we use tools?
