I’m on version 1.6.0.beta1. My default site language is set to Chinese zh\_CN but I allow user to use their own language setting. It works well for other parts but the text from system\_messages.usage\_tips.text\_body\_template, which is still in English, for users who are using the default zh\_CN. I tried to set the site language to zh\_CN and didn’t allow user’s own setting on that, then it was right. Thus I guess it’s a bug. Any ideas?

* * *

Update1:

I tried to set the site language to zh\_CN and didn’t allow user’s own setting on that but it still doesn’t work. _Sorry I was wrong just before._

Update2:  
I can repeat the issue on my production deployment but not in my local development environment. They’re both v1.6.0.beta1.

This sounds like a bug. Added on my list. ✏

I am unable to repro this issue locally.

I also created a fresh Discourse instance on DO droplet to try to repro this issue in production, but unable to repro it (with `zh_CN` locale and `allow user locale` setting enabled/disabled).

Changing the category to `support` until we have repro steps for this issue.

The newest update: I fixed that by dropping my database and deployed code and starting over.

Before, I had a deployment of v1.5.0.beta13b(which was upgraded to from an earlier 1.5.0 beta), and then I upgraded to v1.6.0.beta1. I’m not sure if it’s due to migration, or something else. Anyway, I have no easy way to figure out the reason. So I did a clean deployment from scratch and it seems working well.
