I don’t think so. Discourse doesn’t know what language posts are in. The source language is determined by Azure once the post gets sent there for translation.
Assuming that Azure returns the detected source language and that the translator plugin saves it (though why would it?), the maximum you could get is a list of all posts in Portuguese _that have been translated at least once_.

Thanks, Christoph! My understanding is that the translator plugin _does_ save translations. But I’m not entirely clear how it works.
Maybe the answer here is a tag that admins can manually add to posts in the various languages, to make the posts in specific languages easier to keep track of and follow.

It sure does save the translated text, but I don’t know if it also saves the language of the original post.

Not sure if admins want to do that kind of work… Besides, tags are applied to topics and those can contain posts in different languages…

Olá, estou procurando um sistema assim para o meu novo site. Por enquanto, coloquei um ícone de bandeira (Inglês/Francês) no cabeçalho que envia uma lista filtrada por tags de tópicos. Mas, idealmente, o filtro deveria ser apenas pelo idioma do conteúdo do site, sem exibir uma lista de tópicos sem categoria.
