It would be nice if every blog post would have to set language descriptor (e.g. tag) explicitly. This could be used to filter directories of unwanted content; surely no one wants to read a blog in language they don't understand.

We already detect the language of posts for search purpose (for example, here are all posts in french that got federated to fediverse.blog this week)
Maybe people don't need to tag explicitly their posts, but we should "just" implement a way for peoples to filter by language what they see in their feeds? Which probably make this related to #450?

Maybe being able to override what is automatically detected could still be useful?

@fdb-hiroshima oh wasn't are of that. Is there a way to see the language tag somewhere? Is only in the article page itself or also available in pagination?

It's only available for search at the moment, there is no way to see or set it anywhere, and the only place it's used is on the link I posted

@fdb-hiroshima ah I see now. Though I think it would be a good idea to expose this article itself. Language of article is a property of it so it would be useful if it was there in the article body somewhere or at least is page source for indexing.
