Right now, here on Meta.
I’m using the Spanish language interface, but TOS still on English. Why?
Capture:
The source is fine: [discourse/config/locales/server.es.yml at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/config/locales/server.es.yml#L3447)
On transifex is translated too.

The TOS, like everything under `/about` uses the site locale, not the user locale.
As a site admin, you can replace the text in those seeded topics as described in [Update seeded categories and topics](https://meta.discourse.org/t/update-seeded-categories-and-topics/111963).

I did not know that. Thanks.
But, according to @absi, he uses “spanish” as site locale language, and TOS still in English. 🤔

The forum was either created at a time when there was no Spanish translation or it was initially created with an English locale. The “Replace” feature from the above link will sort this out.

Yes this was the case. The developer installed it in English and we changed to Spanish later. All was translated except TOS.

Genius! This solved the problem.
Thank you @gerhard and @SidV for your support.
