Some time ago, I came across a blog post from Discourse where they present a translation feature using the AI plugin. It basically enables that each user can converse seamlessly in a chosen language: https://blog.discourse.org/2026/03/building-for-every-language/

The Discourse AI plugin is now bundled and can be enabled manually for available features.

As I take care of a multilingual forum, I was wondering if it is doable to have the AI translation run with a Cloudron Ollama instance:

• Did someone manage connect a local Ollama instance to the Discourse AI Plugin ?
• What would be a recommended requirement in RAM and model (SotA ?) to make this work gracefully ?
• Otherwise, which third-party provider would you recommend using for a low traffic Discourse site ?

Thanks.
