The only suggestion I can make is due to my anticipation of “bike shedding” over the copy.

i.e. Is “new” above or below?

Maybe bracket the I18n with unicode up arrows (`\2191`) ?

Nah, that is simple enough for people to change via the Admin \> Customize \> Text area. So no need to bikeshed that before it is implemented. If they see a lot of people leaning towards a certain phrase, updating the default won’t be difficult.

Nice work! Looks like localization is the only stumbling block now, but this should be good enough to get started!

@Falco’s PR handles localization too using a data-attribute 🙂

Yeah! Actually it already is localizable since it reads from a data attributte from the tr element.

If @sam can just point me a general direction to get this string set we’re done.

PS: I think it’s around here:

Yep, And I think you can get away with changing

```plaintext
  attributeBindings: ['data-topic-id'],
  'data-topic-id': Em.computed.alias('topic.id'),

```

to

```plaintext
  attributeBindings: ['data-topic-id', 'data-last-visit-text'],
  'data-topic-id': Em.computed.alias('topic.id'),
  'data-last-visit-text': I18n.t('your_variable_here'),

```

Nice! I’m gonna test this later and put into the PR.

Ok, this is nice and all but is there a way to remove it? We really don’t need that red line and might be confusing to our users as they don’t know what it’s for.

You can set it to whatever you want via CSS of course.

Any update on this? I’ve been [following on GH](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/4428) and it appears as though it’s diverged a little bit, in which @sam is reviewing the PR before it’s been updated with the above suggestions…

I’m not very proficient with CSS but this seemed to remove it on our site (in Settings \> Customize \> CSS/HTML)

```
.topic-list>tbody>tr.last-visit {
    border-bottom: inherit;
}
```

If anyone who knows more about CSS and customization (probably everyone looking at this post) sees anything wrong with that, feel free to correct me!

Related to recent work @falco did – it can also show up in Suggested Topics accidentally now.
