Separating the Community Language Selector from the Tech Community Profile Language

Hi there,

 

I noticed the new selection box here in the Tech Community, allowing me to translate the posts to a selected language. As it is machine translated, the translation is not always very accurate, but mostly understandable (I tried as target language German only) and therefore the feature is helpful and useful. Thanks for that. And I noticed, that my profile is becoming translated. It seems not to be 100 percent ready yet, as some parts are missing, but this is very good too. Thanks for that too!

 

However, I also noticed, that the selection box in the Tech Community Forums and the UI language for my profile are linked together. If I select German in my profile and the go to a forum, German is preselected and the posts translated. If I change the selection in the forum back to English, then my profile switches to English again. Therefore, I would like to suggest to separate these selections in 2 options. One for the profile and one for an automatic translation of the posts. This would allow to always have the profile and more UI components in a selected language and call a translation fo forum posts on need without affecting the UI language.

 

I have a question too: for German and for the already translated strings, most translations are good. But there are some errors. I guess, I can e.g. report that here, right? And will be the untranslated strings be translated too, so that I should wait until they are translated?

 

Best,

Mourad
