A [Flarum](http://flarum.org) extension. Tag discussions with the language they are written in, filter the discussion list by language, and optionally auto-detect a visitor's preferred language to show relevant content by default.

### Features

[](#features)

- **Language tagging** — Assign a language (with optional country flag) to each discussion. Authors are prompted to choose a language when composing, moderators can change it at any time.
- **Discussion list filtering** — A language dropdown appears on the index page. Discussions are filtered by language automatically based on the visitor's browser locale, cookie, or user preference — or they can manually pick "Any Language".
- **Search gambit** — Filter search results by language using `language:` in the search bar.
- **Composer pre-selection** — Optionally pre-fill the language picker in the composer with the user's current Flarum locale.
- **Country flags** — Display emoji flags alongside language names (backed by [twemoji](https://twemoji.twitter.com/)). Uses ISO 639-2 language codes and country data.
- **Native language names** — Optionally display language names in their own script (e.g. "Deutsch" instead of "German").
- **Tags page integration** — Optionally show only the most recent discussion in the user's locale on the tags page instead of the overall most recent discussion.
- **fof/follow-tags integration** — When [fof/follow-tags](https://github.com/FriendsOfFlarum/follow-tags) is enabled, users can choose which discussion language they want to receive tag subscription notifications for.
