This happens if a community specifies a set of allowed languages, and you are trying to post in a different one. It sounds like the UX and error messages should definitely be improved though. To reproduce this issue, can you say which community you tried to post in and what languages you had enabled at the time?

It was in the https://beehaw.org/c/chat community and I had no specific language selected in my settings. When I changed the language setting in the community to English I was able to post a comment.

That community only allows posting in English, and you probably tried to comment with the default language which is "undetermined". In this case it should really be able to select English as default language, as its the only option.

Thank you.
