Hey, thank you for this instance and this space, it is a great work.

  1. One person tried to comment in one of my post, he received the “undetermined language” error, but selecting spanish he could comment successfully.

  2. I am trying to comment to the same person, but when I try to avoid the “undetermined language” error (still present) choosing an option, there is no another option to pick.

  3. I tried to modify the language of my community to see if this has effect in the comment mechanisms, but i can not select another option apart of “undetermined language”, choosing spanish or english does not has effect.

What should I do?

    Please pause and consider how the British Empire exported English all over the world, often by force, leading to its privileged status among languages today. Also consider that all people have different aptitudes for learning, and even a single individual will have vastly different abilities at different times in their life.

    I’m only fluent in English, but that doesn’t make other languages invalid in any way. People who don’t speak English have just as much right to enjoy the internet as I do.

    There are certainly ways Lemmy could handle languages better, and I hope to see improvements. But the tool should be what does the work, not the end-users.
