Hello dear community! I’m running a multilingual Discourse forum in English, Russian, and Italian using Content Localization with content_localization_crawler_param enabled. AI translations are working well. Crawlers receive translated content via ?tl=, and the forum correctly outputs hreflang tag…

Hey, agree with you. Each language variant should be self-canonical. We’ll have a look.

We’ve added a fix - FIX: Self-canonicalize tl= translated pages by nattsw · Pull Request #39494 · discourse/discourse · GitHub - and it’s available in our newest build. You can update your site - we’ll also be monitoring here for meta.

Great! So if I just update the discourse from the admin panel, I will get this fix in my Dicourse? Is this correct?

Oui, c’est exact.
