This forum is really great…awesome…

but most of the times when i login…all i see is topics in different language and english discussions are very hard to find…am i missing something? is there anyway i can change setting to see only english topics…or any forum just for english…?

why do i want to see other langaguge topics in ‘Latest’ topics section when i dont know how to read them…its pointless and most of the times it is forcing me to logout immediately…not sure about others…just my two cents.

You can mute any categories, like this:

After this you can see all the muted categories in your profile settings:

Afaik, its impossible to block the whole language in a single action, due to how the platform works.

Thanks for the reply. can we hide them in first page?

40-5% of page is something you can not read…is there any solution for this?

Currently there isn’t any solution, for what I know. But Foundation works on some design changes to the forum, so the different languages would not clutter the front-page. Just gonna take some time. This question is especially important, since Foundation also seeks to introduce new languages to the forum.

It would be better if they worked on a design change that would allow the user to translate everything into a language they’re already accustomed to. I would want to know what people from different countries and cultures are discussing. They might have good points and interesting perspectives to consider. Как считаешь? 🙂

Here is a workaround solution:

1. Go to Preferences
2. ![35%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/2X/1/1f4ca37f93c350258cd22348faeb34fa7cde8b9d.png)

Though it will hide all categories.
