What exactly is the "language" dropdown in creating comments/posts? (beehaw.org)

submitted 1 year ago by BarryZuckerkorn@beehaw.org to c/support@beehaw.org

3 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Three questions:

What does the language dropdown actually do?
What does the "if you deselect Undetermined" warning banner mean?
Are we able to tag our comments as being in whatever specific language across the board, by default (e.g., English)?

Yes, both the settings and post language selections are multiselect. But it feels like there's a chicken & egg problem here: until something is done to encourage users off the default (which I would guess many don't even know is an option), changing post language will severely limit its reach.
