People, On another Discourse forum there are topics in LOTS of different languages - and it is very clumsy to have to open DOZENS of topics and mute them one at a time - it would be much more sensible for me to be able to mute ALL topics that are not in English with one checkbox . . Is this possib…

I’m not the owner / developer - I think a more general-purpose approach is required. On this particular discourse site there are many different languages with a number of topics in each. English has the most topics of course but it would be convenient to say check a box for Japanese-only topics. I…

Adding on to this, I believe creating language groups that can be openly joined would be the best option here. You could create variations of categories (or subcategories) for each language, and only allow the languages group to post in it. This would allow for users to only have to join a group to …

Are the other language topics in specific language categories or tags? If yes then maybe mute the categories? If no, then the site might need to rearrange their content with tags/categories so members can better filter out useful information.

That’s EXACTLY what I am trying to avoid - I want ONE checkbox that mutes ALL non-english categories . .

Out of the box, that doesn’t exist. You’d have to develop something custom for that.

Yes, that is what I thought the situation might be - I suppose I should add this to the request for an enhancement list somewhere?

Yes, you can use the Contribute > Feature category to request for things like this. EDIT: Seeing as the OP has been addressed, I’ll set this topic to close in a day.

You can always set different languages to a certain category and then mute the category if you are the developer of the forum.
