Hi @everyone. 

I managed to find the plug in, ours was showing in Polish suddenly after some coleagues cleared their cookies.
I restarted the plugin JIRA Activity Stream Plugin (disable and enable), the gadget needs some time to come up. I recommend to perform this action once admin have to perform maintenance / upgrade. Users won't be affected then. 

Our plugin was offline for 5 minutes with 2 running nodes. 

Hopefully this helps with the bug. 

The issue is reproducible on Jira v9.3.0, Disabling and re-enabling the JIRA Activity Stream Plugin workaround doesn't work for us.

9.4.6 is also affected by this bug.

We are going to test the workaround #1 (Java parameter: -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US), but a bugfix from Altlassian development would be more than welcome.

Hello,
still in v9.4.0

regards, Erich

still in v9.3.1

Hello Team,

It seems that issue is present on v9.3.0 as well, Is there any possibility to solve this issue in the current version?

Kind Regards,

2022 is going to end soon--- do we have a concrete solution to fix the issue. Still having issue in version 8.20.11. 

Still an issue in v9.0.0.

Still having this issue occur in 8.20.11

Getting this issue in 8.20.8! Any stable solution for this issue?!

Thanks in advance!

Hi, getting this issue on Jira 8.20.5.

Any really funtional solution?

This issue got 7th anniversary soon!! Hurts soOOOoo000o much Atlassian, resolve this issue

Hello,

Our team is also experiencing this issue on Jira Server 8.13.9.
Our default language is set to English (United States), but the Activity Stream started to act funny awhile ago and switched the language to Portuguese.

The same issue appears on the dashboards where the Activity Stream gadget is used or on the Profile information page.
The workaround didn't help us either.

Hello, we're also experiencing this issue on Jira Server 8.13.8. The workaround didn't help, the language that is displayed is still the one from the first user to log in after a restart.

NB: it's only happening in the bottom part ("happened XX hours ago") on the My Profile's activity entries.

Hello... I am experiencing this in Jira Data Center 8.13.3 with a two node cluster.  We typically see the issue on Node 01 with Japanese characters.  I have bounced the system and made sure that I am the first person (with English) to log into both nodes and load the activity stream on both nodes.  That has not corrected the problem.

Hopefully Atlassian will fix this in a future LTS release.

Stephen

Disable/Enable Plugins doesn't work. Try Jira re-start and be the first one in with the language you want. That worked for us on 7.10.2 multiple times.

Persistently recurring problem in Jira 7.13. We have people from across the globe and this keeps changing into Mandarin. We need this to stay English. Can't be disabling and enabling JIRA Activity Stream Plugin all the time.

Same problem here:   English + Portuguese  (Jira 7.10   and Confluence 7.4)

While Jira 7.10 and confleunce 7.2  it was working fine

In Addition for who faces this problem, note:

• using Jira Macro for jql results:

if you add a Jira scripted field to be displayed as table, it will not be showed in the page.

even the field has a value in Jira,  and also jql has results, the field value shows as empty in confluence page.

Hi

this problems occurs still in Jira 8.5.5 (mix of german and english)

The workaround (for us) is to restart Jira and be the first in the activity stream gadget with the proper language layout. Disabling and re-enabling "JIRA Activity Stream Plugin" did NOT fix the issue.

Best regards

Ingo

The option2 mentioned above relating to restarting the node having trouble helped us fix the issue of Japanese characters coming into the activity stream. 

Raghu Murthy - try that it may fix for you as well.

This still happens on Jira 8.5.2.
Our default language is English but activity gadget is showing in Russian.
Disabling and re-enabling "JIRA Activity Stream Plugin" did NOT fix the issue.

This still happens on Jira 8.3.4.

I tried disabling and reenabling "IRA Activity Stream Plugin".couple of times but did not fix the problem.

May be I have to restart which I cannot do during working hours.

The Activity Stream on the System Dashboard is working as expected.

The Activity Stream on user profile page is rendering "Comment" and "Watch" labels text in german.

Surprised to see this bug creeping through all the versions since 2015.

Hi,

it also happens with 7.7.2, I will try to disable/enable "JIRA Activity Stream Plugin".

The workaround with disabling the activity feed in the add-ons/system worked for me only when I disabled it, and then viewed the gadget that was broken, then re-enabled it. It did not work when I disabled it, then immediately re-enabled it. This was on 7.13.3.

Happening on 7.13.3.

We too are seeing this issue, our default language is English but activity gadget showing in polish.

The version report also includes mixed language issues. The workarounds suggested by Atlassian Support do not resolve the functionality required by users.  The first user that accesses a server ought to not be the one that sets language for all other users until the next restart.   Each node ought to display all headers, labels and server generated information in multiple languages as per each user profile.   

We didn't perform any restart on our jira, and today when we checked again the activity stream, the chinese character gone, resolved by itself. Not sure anything happen here.

Hi Simon,

From your comment, you mentioned "In general the workaround should be valid, however, please be aware that the problem can re-occur on instance restarts when a user with another language is the first to access it."

could you advise how can i simulate the issue? a user with another language mean language setting in the computer, or in the Jira profile? thanks!

We are on Jira 7.12.3 and are affected by this bug. We are a multi-lingual organisation and need the activity stream to match the user's profile. Atlassian, please provide a patch for this. Below suggested workarounds doesn't always work and its just ridiculous to restart Jira and have system outage so often to fix this issue.

Atlassian support suggested Workaround

Option 1

We've seen moderate success with the following workaround

1. Disable and re-enable JIRA Activity Stream Plugin, this can be found under Manage add-ons > Select System > Look for "JIRA Activity Stream Plugin", this helps for some of the customers.

Option 2

If the above option does not resolve it, try the following:

1. Restart Jira on problematic node
2. As soon as it's up, make sure a user having same language as the instance setting 'default language' is the first to logging to it.
3. This should reset the activity stream functionality and prevent mixed-up languages in it

In general the workaround should be valid, however, please be aware that the problem can re-occur on instance restarts when a user with another language is the first to access it.

We are also affected by this problem. Our case Activity stream is clearly visible part.

Mostly date/relative date with "comment" link is in different language.

Same issue here. We are a bilingual organisation and need the activity stream to match the user's profile.

We have the same problem. Workaround worked well in Jira 7.x but it doesn't in Jira 8.x. 

Hi Team,

Do u have any update on this. We have tried the solutions but no luck. We are still having same issue

Regards,

Venkata Suneel

Issue resolved for myself and Bryce after Disabling and Re-Enabling the plugin

We are experiencing this bug on Jira v7.11.1, any input on how to fix?

We are experiencing this bug on Jira v7.11.1, any input on how to fix?

Option 1 is unreasonable and option 2 didn't work. Try the following:

1. Restart Jira
2. As soon as it's up accesses it with a user who is set to the same language as the instance setting 'default language'
3. This should reset the activity stream functionality and prevent mixed-up languages in it

In general the workaround should be valid, however, please be aware that the problem can re-occur on instance restarts when a user with a language other than Jira's default language is the first user to login.

We are experiencing this bug in Jira Server v7.8

I experienced similar bug in 7.12.3. In the activity stream gadget, the date, comment and watch buttons (e.g. 20/ноя/18 5:39 PM Комментарий Наблюдение) were in russian, the rest was in english. Workaround 2 worked for me.

The same version, same issue, same workaround.

This issue just started happening to us today - JIRA 7.5.3.  Disabling and enabling the plugin did not help.

This just started happening to us 2 or 3 days ago. Our JIRA was fully English. Suddenly Japanese started appearing in the Activity Stream.

We are using Atlassian JIRA Project Management Software (v7.7.0#77001-sha1:3be3151) 
 

Pleae resolve this issue or provide a workaround soon.

I just experienced this on my 7.6.4 instance - activity stream language turned to Japanese (or maybe Chinese?)

Last time I  had French, but it was resolved somehow.

Now it's Chinese...

Disable and enable the Activity add-on doesn't work for me.

Need HELP!!!!

sorry for the non-existing image....whatever went wrong. eitherway, i tried the work around a second time, and waited longer between disabling and reenabling the plugin. now it worked. 

BTW i had chinese characters in my stream...this looks then realy weird...

Hi, happend to me today (Language Englisch, Jira 7.9.0):

Please fix this. The above mentioned workaround did not work :/

We are on Standalone server Jira 7.8.1.
Still an issue in this version.

Disabling and enabling JIRA Activity Stream Plugin fixed it but not before background re-indexing the instance.

Before re-indexing the instance the gadget was not rendered throwing an error.

Hi Scott, 
It worked for me too but no immediately.

Glad it worked, have a super awesome day!

Thanks for the tip Scott, disable and re-enable the Jira Activity Stream Plugin did the trick for me!

I specifically had to stop and restart Jira ACTIVITY STREAM Plugin under addons/system. I would try that, if that what you did then..  :/ 

I also considered removing all languages – that didnt work in my case anyway.

I really had to dig to find the gadget that did it for me, will take a gander to see if it rings any bells, will edit this post. 

I was thinking maybe disable all language except english US

not working in my case.

If you disable the activity stream gadgets and re-enable them, it should work as a work around. I am using 7.10.1 and have not seen this issue return....yet

Same here. we are using 7.4.4.

Do you advice to upgrade to the latest version ?

This issue appeared today for the activity gadget on out 7.7.1 install. We see some Chinese text where it should be US English. Is there a workaround available? 

We encountered this issue in the Activity streams in every project and in the Activity streams gadget today in Jira Server 7.4.2.

Chinese texts were displayed in the german translation.

We just encountered this behavior in Enterprise Release 7.6.4 as well.  Has anyone found a workaround for this, or are your users having to just ignore the timestamps in the Activity stream ever since Jira 6.3?

@Jaime Silveira could you please provide an ETA of when is going to be starting working on the fix?

Can we please get an ETA on when this is going to be fixed?

JIRA Software Server v7.1.6#71010-sha1:428b2b3, Confluence Server v5.9.10 Just started out of nowhere today for some people and not others that are all located in the same building with the same settings. This is a serious issue that is not acceptable for an enterprise level application.

Happening in our instance, across all users. Extremely annoying, especially for admins who need to configure Jira gadgets. 

Happening in Jira 7.7.0.

This hasn't happened again since I was able to find the work around. disabling the gadgets and re-enabling them. Just thought someone here might be interested in that. Doesn't mean it wont happen again.

Jira Server 7.5.3 also seeing this.

@Atlassian Please bear in mind that although it´s not a big issue there are still customers who use JIRA and can see this issue whenever they use the activity stream to review their activity. So we as a company should provide at least any information about the ETA of the fix. Cheers

seeing this in 7.6.2 server as well now. 

Same is here.  Is anybody from Atlassian listening?  ETA on fix??

Hi,

Also happening in 6.3.15. for many affected users. Is there any ETA of the fix??

Best Regards,

Sangman

@Oswaldo Hernandez

Is there an update to this? We are also seeing this in 7.6.3 and this has been open for 9.5 months.

We have this issue with Jira 7.4 and text is showing in Chinese.

Please fix this asap because our users don't speak Chinese, rendering the activity stream useless.

We have 7.7.1.  Same issue is there.

Hi,

We have the same issue now.

We have Jira software 7.4.5 + Jira service desk 3.7.1, and it happens only in the activity stream gadget in Personal profile screen.

I try to disable and enable the activity stream add-on but still not working.

Hope there will be a solution from you guys ASAP.

Thanks.

BR.

Hi,

We are implementing Jira and have had this issue come up today.  It is limited to the Activity Stream.

Please advise if this will be corrected.

Liesa

Hello team,

This is also happening in JIRA version 

• 7.5.0

Do you have a quick fix?

Best regards

Hi,
any updates on this?

Is there any update on this one? Clients having this problem still need a fix. thanks!

Why it has Low priority?

Is root cause defined?

When this issue is planned to be fixed?

Our Clients complain on it...

This issue is occuring on one of our clients systems as well. Could we provide any information to support the solution process?

I also noticed this issue for the first time this morning. Recently a clone was made of our production instance and the error is not present in that environment, so this has happened in the last two weeks or so but I cannot identify any change in the system that could have caused this. The only changes recently have been general admin configurations.

The difference I see, is the mix of german and english only shows on the specific Activity Stream that is located on the User Profile page and on the Project Summary page (those that I cannot edit or remove by design). The issue does not persist on the Activity Stream gadget that is placed on a dashboard manually which is editable to me.

Using v 6.3.15. The production instance was shut down and restarted today but the issue still present.

We also have seen this issue, and only with the Activity Stream. The suggested fix of "Refresh Client Resources" described JRA-28392 and JSP-234254 did not resolve the issue. We also do not have translations displaying incorrectly as described in JRA-28392's other attached bitmaps. I have attached a sample from out Activity Stream.

The mixed languages seem to only come from the operations links in the activity stream.

Discussing this with mquail, we believe that this is limited to the activity streams gadget and these UI elements in it.

Root cause analysis needs to be on this problem before we confirm this as a verified bug report.
