I modified the description, but it remains garbled. Chinese characters are showing as garbled text, and after editing it to an English name, there is no update.

Hey @future,

Thanks for bringing this to the community!

I see that you’re having trouble with the name on your certification.

We have a thread that covers exactly this – take a look here: **[Certificate name correction request - #4 by Berangere](https://community.hubspot.com/t/certificate-name-correction-request/142089/4)**

Your HubSpot Academy certificate will reflect the name on your HubSpot User profile, so if you’ve recently made a name update, here are a few steps to get it showing correctly:

1. Log out of HubSpot and log back in
2. If the name still isn’t updated, clear your browser cache and try again

Give those a shot and let us know if that does the trick!
