Thanks; I did search and even found/skimmed that topic but missed that FAQ. This topic seemed to be the closest match to what I wanted, but obviously I missed. The part that made this confusing to me is that I cannot select Esperanto manually while authoring the post… but the Locale Detector Agent auto-detected it and marked the above post as `eo`! So… this becomes a very minimal ask: could we be able to manually declare _many more languages_ directly during post authorship? That’d make it more obvious that using those languages is ok! In fact, there are surely languages that the translation LLM doesn’t support; how do I know which those are? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/d/5/3/d53cb773d127893897b060aa16cb74346754b0fa.png) It looks like the locale dropdown during post authorship only shows the _enabled_ languages, whereas the post dropdown in the translations modal (afterwards) shows the _supported_ locales… but the translator LLM supports even more than that! ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/6/7/a/67a7149c59920185245b19766cf6b3f0c4b913e2.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/posting-in-a-disabled-language/412608)._
