# Pull Request Template

## Description

Fixes https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-3913/issues-with-help-center

**Fixes included**
1. > The default locale that is selected should the portal default
locale.

Now, we update the last active locale in UI settings after changing the
selected locale from the article page header. This ensures that we see
the last active locale-based categories on the category page and
remember it when we return. Initially, it’s the default locale.
     
2. > I cannot switch to a different locale if there are no articles in
the portal

Now, the `v-if` condition that checked for the presence of articles in
portal has been removed. Additionally, the locale length checks for the
showing dropdown have been removed, allows locale switching even if
article is not preset.
     
3. > Create or updating the article is quite painful, see the video 

Removed the `quickSave` and `saveAndSyncDebounced` usage for a newly
creating article.

4. > I cannot see the articles if I delete the English locale
(irrespective of what I choose as default locale)

Now, the last active locale in UI settings will automatically update to
the default locale when the last active locale is deleted.

5. > Set a new default locale other than `en` and delete the `en` locale
preset in the portal. Then, adding a new locale will automatically set
`en` as the default locale, even if the `en` locale not preset in the
portal.

    Now, we pass default locale when we add a new locale.

6. Adds search for all dropdown menus
7. Update article count in realtime.
