<!-- Answer --> You do not need to manually copy translation files if you build your Superset 5.0.0 Docker image with `BUILD_TRANSLATIONS=true`—the build process should generate and include both backend (.mo) and frontend (.json) translation files automatically from the source .po files [source](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/Dockerfile#L27-L210). If French translations still don't work, here’s what to check: - Make sure the build logs show that translation steps (like `npm run build-translation` and `pybabel compile`) ran without errors and produced files for French. - In your built image, confirm that `superset/translations/fr/LC_MESSAGES/messages.json` (frontend) and `superset/translations/fr/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo` (backend) exist. - If the French option appears but doesn’t work, check the browser console for 404 errors or “Failed to fetch language pack” messages—this means the frontend JSON file is missing or not loaded [source](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/35330#issuecomment-3351457023). - Locale codes must match between frontend and backend. For most setups, `"fr"` is correct, but if you use a variant or see a mismatch, add a bootstrap override in `superset_config.py`: ```python from superset.translations.utils import get_language_pack def override_bootstrap_locale(data): if data.get("locale") == "fr": data["locale"] = "fr" data["language_pack"] = get_language_pack('fr') return data COMMON_BOOTSTRAP_OVERRIDES_FUNC = override_bootstrap_locale ``` - Some UI elements may remain untranslated if their keys are missing from the French translation files, especially in chart plugins and new UI features [source](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/34540#discussioncomment-13994711). If you follow these steps and translations still don’t work, check for errors in your build logs and browser console, and verify the translation files are present in the image.
