Related Topics not translated

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around an issue with related topics not translating properly in non-English languages on a Discourse forum using the AI auto-translate feature. stance455 reports that related topics appear in English despite language switching, prompting Lilly to ask about the forum’s update status and translation settings. Moin clarifies that setting ai embeddings model to multilingual-e5-large is necessary for non-English sites and notes that translated related topics work on other sites. The issue appears resolved, with stance455 confirming the fix and praising the localization logic, possibly attributing the earlier problem to caching.

We just started using the auto-translate / locale switcher (AI) feature, and it works well.

…However, the related topics seem to show up in English even when switching languages. Is the quoted setting what we need to change? (By default, our forum is in English.)

hmm, it’s working on my site in multiple languages. is your Discourse up to date? please share your translation settings. are you using a test user with different language and locales?

what setting do you mean?

For non-English sites (Discourse-hosted or self-hosted with own model):
Set ai embeddings model to multilingual-e5-large

I checked https://discuss.flynumber.com and I can see translated related topics there. Maybe you had toggled off translations with the button on the timeline?

Looks good now @Lilly / @Moin, thanks.

Not sure why, when I tried it, it showed English-related topics on non-English topics, perhaps a cache or something else.

Either way, it’s good now, and I’m very impressed with the locale/AI translation logic built for Discourse.
