@schratze Let me clarify that auto-detection was not removed out of malice towards multilingual people, but because of its wild inaccuracy.

@Gargron @schratze understandable. Any plans/ideas regarding reintroducing it in the future or looking for some other solutions for multilingual people?

@esi @schratze We are planning to allow people to add multiple versions of text to posts for different languages

@Gargron
Is there a ticket people can follow to keep up to date on the development?

@Gargron There are multiple Github-issues asking for setting a language for specific posts for a long time. This is IMO an easy thing to develop. Just a drop down list with languages you can choose from.

Of course it's also a nice idea to have one post with multiple languages, but I think that is more work.

So what I try to say is that let's first implement the option to set the language per post, and later to add a multilanguage option per post.

BTW: I have now set my posting language to English, because you probably understand that I'm not going to my preferences to change my posting language all time. So English speakers, sorry for the Dutch posts in your public timelines.
