Localizing topic does not seem to localize excerpt pinned on topic list

I also see an untranslated content on pinned topic’s abstracts. So I see a topic list in the translated language but the abstract of the pined topic shows original.

Hi Everyone, I experience similar situation where I localized the topic and have both full EN and FR translation but this pinned topic only shows original abstract. Switching language basically only “update” its title in the home page. Is there any workaround ? It seems that you guys made it work for meta.discourse.org (see the welcome pinned message “New to Discourse?Start Here” that successfully switch languages even the abstract in the home page)

Thanks for sharing, I’ll have a look at this.

This is a detail for extra info - excerpts and titles are attached to TopicLocalizations (a localization of a topic). The post content is attached to a PostLocalization.

So what is likely happening is that we may need to “refresh” the excerpt when the topic’s first post has modifications to their localization.

Hi Nat
Thank you so much for your help and support. If this can be of any help for investigating:

Example of expected behaviors on meta.discourse.org with the “New to Discourse? Start Here” pinned topic that is well updating its title + abstract when we switch language. That’s what I am looking to have as well.

Example of similar issue on meta.discourse.org as I have on my own instance:
Support - Discourse Meta looking at the “About the Support category” pinned topic. Switching language to french only update its title but abstract remains in english. I basically experience the same

Thank you for your help and support,
Cheers,
