I’m having this error most of the time I try to comment. It seems to be because I can’t manually select the comment language like I can on the web UI.

      Do you mean you have English checked off in Languages? That’s a different setting, you’ll need to select a language under Interface Language.

      Here’s a picture of the Interface Language setting:

      Now, if we were talking about the same thing, then yeah I’d have no clue what’s going on.

          Can’t say I blame you lol. It’s really not an obvious setting, glad to hear it solved your issue!

            Well, to be completely honest, I’m still having issues on certain threads, even with this setting enabled. It seems to have solved the problem in some circumstances, though.

                Weirdly enough, the web UI doesn’t seem to be defaulting to English, even when it’s the only option. No idea if that’s an issue with Lemmy 0.17.4; I think a few fixes for different things are on the way for the next version. Honestly, Jerboa implementing the language option would solve the problem. I’m self-hosting this instance of Lemmy, but it’s the official Ansible install, and it’s worked pretty darn well so far. I don’t think it’s a configuration issue, but I can definitely fiddle with the config files if you think that would help. The admin setting’s language option is set to English as well.
