Is it possible to show only language A topics to language A users so that the other language B topics are hidden? I canā€™t find the setting. ---

Dear @angus @merefield and all, we need to update the yml files in our instance. Unfortunately removing the translations looks not possible: when we click on the Remove button nothing happens. ![Schermata 2023-02-17 alle 11.16.40](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/2/0/3/20367e91e622d2ab21a1eab5f4904690b428b236.png) In the logs we found this error, not sure if it is related: ā€œDeprecation notice: DButton no longer supports @action as a string. Please refactor to use an closure action instead. [deprecation id: discourse.d-button-action-string]ā€. We tried to wipe and and reinstall the plugin, but all the settings (translations included) are still there. Can you please suggest how to proceed? Thank you ---

Thank you @merefield In the meantime can you please suggest how to completely wipe the plugin settings in order to reinstall the plugin from scratch? ---

Iā€™m really sorry Davide, I donā€™t have the time at present to come up with such a guide and test it thoroughly enough. ---

No and not likely to get to this anytime soon Iā€™m afraid, but I will bear it in mind when I next focus on this plugin. Thanks for the report. ---

At the moment, the plugin has started to support the translation of category descriptions? ---

Yes that should be the case. There are still a few issues with this plugin though and Iā€™ve not had enough time to get to them. ---

It would be great to make the plugin stable soon ---

I confirm that the problem is solved. The plugin is working fine from my perspective: no complaints from the users and no evident issues at the moment (using it to translate categories, category descriptions and tags). Thank you @merefield ! ---

Is it technically difficult to make each language version of categories, topics and tags have its own URL? ---

Kind of moot. This plugin is in maintenance mode for the time being, so there will be no big feature changes for a while, but we do support the current feature set with best efforts. If you need something else #Marketplace ---

Thanks for sharing your work. I have two questions that I hope you can help me out. How can we disable multilingual plugin without breaking default language selector if that was modified before (modified spanish for example)? If I disable the plugin then I canā€™t chose language anymore from admin on Discourse. And whatā€™s the purpose of the selector on categories? Thatā€™s supposed to do something? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/5/3/5/53563ac3c736eb1af39daf1854cb8bffb714b5c6.png) I click it but it just donā€™t do nothing and it seems to be bugged? ---

Hello, How can I install this plugin please ? is it like any other plugin ? I didnā€™t succed to access the documentation : [https://discourse.pluginmanager.org/c/discourse-multilingual/documentation/49](https://discourse.pluginmanager.org/c/discourse-multilingual/documentation/49) When I try I have the following issue: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/d/6/5/d65f80aae4d40661fc5b116d32cfd8bd415f6f53.png) Thanks in advance for your kind support. ---

How can I export and recover my language without breaking the DB? Then I can try to remove the plugin without setting up a language first. [Previous page](https://meta.discourse.org/t/multilingual-plugin/142740.md?page=4) [Next page](https://meta.discourse.org/t/multilingual-plugin/142740.md?page=6)
