After upgrading Discourse, it now shows a banner with
> **[Admin Notice]** One of your themes or plugins needs updating for compatibility with upcoming Discourse core changes. (id:[_discourse.component-template-overrides_](https://meta.discourse.org/t/355668)) Identified plugin: ‘discourse-multilingual’
So I guess some technical changes to this plugin will be needed before June 2025.

I was able to successfully follow this [guide](https://coop.pavilion.tech/t/content-languages/1693) to add translations for categories.
But was unable to successfully get translations for tags to work.
Here is what I have in a tag.ja.yml file:

And the result of was this below when switching the interface language to Japanese.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

@angus Any way to fix the double commas? @Arkshine found the fix here by removing the old CSS:

Hi,
I tried to install the Multilingual plugin on my local Discourse forum.
I cloned it with the following command in the plugins folder:
```plaintext
git clone https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-multilingual
```
But I cannot find the Multilingual tab in my admin settings. It only appears in the plugins menu, but it doesn’t contain all the settings. What can I do?
it gives this Deprecation notice:

Hi @angus,
Do you have any update on when a version compatible with Discourse 3.4 will be available?
We’re currently trying to install the plugin on our Discourse 3.4.3 instance, but we’re running into several errors due to incompatibilities.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello - regarding the Admin settings UI change, where can we insert the translation files ?
Edit : going through the URL ( `/admin/multilingual/languages`), it is possible to access the menu, however there are no direct hyperlinks from the new Admin settings UI directly…
If there’s an update to this module, I hope that the settings will be adapted to the new UI

I used a `tag`, instead of this plugin. But it is just in tags filter.
I think this should be fork to upgrade source, the author was freeze too long…

While this plug-in is frozen, it’s worth noting that the newer Discourse versions allow for localization of categories names/descriptions, as well as singular topic localizations as a base Discourse feature, including manually c:
> [@Content Localization - Manual and Automatic with Discourse AI](https://meta.discourse.org/t/content-localization-manual-and-automatic-with-discourse-ai/370969/37):
>
> That could be done, but to be very honest, if the limit is set to X and any user edits it X+1 times, you would face the same issue as well. We would then have developed a solution that doesn’t really solve the problem systematically. We do have an indicator that shows when a translation may be outdated, it is coloured the same way as post edits indicator "This post was originally written in English. Translation may be outdated"
As such, it’s understandable that this plug-in is no longer supported, as the features brought by it are almost all available by default in Discourse
EDIT: As a warning, not all current Multilingual features are natively available in Discourse as of now, for instance :
- You can’t hide topics in the different category topics pages according to the `Content Languages` setting in any given user profile
It’s still a great advancement in features, but a head-up before upgrading your instance.
