A Flarum 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.
- 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:<code>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). 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 is enabled, users can choose which discussion language they want to receive tag subscription notifications for.
