Hi, thanks for taking the time to read this.
In order to read communities in foreign languages, you need to have selected that language in your profile. However, I noticed most around select a smaller selection, which totally makes sense. That said, I was wondering what is the actual hardware impact of enabling more languages? Does it require a lot of disk space. I’ve finally started meeting some people from further afield and I’m grateful for that and hope to see, is it likely to be the language settings that’s prevented that until now or am I just not looking around enough?
Thank you in advance for settling my curiosities.
I would love to see undetermined retired and allowing multi select in the language dropdown.
Sorry not sure if I’m understanding your comment, but you already can multi select languages, the way I stated in the comment above: in the web UI go to your profile settings and hold CTRL to select another language you wish to see. You can choose as many languages as you want while holding CTRL.
I mean here:
Ahh sorry now I get it, settings inside posts! I have to admit I have no idea how those work, I suspected that the language options you have inside a post are community specific settings that mods of a community control, or maybe they only offer undetermined and the language the post was made with? Hope someone who knows gives an answer!
Yep, when setting up a community, mods can set the available languages. But I envision a future where we can acknowledge that someone may want to reply in two languages
Okay, well hope a lemmy dev sees your request! :)
