   Starting with Mastodon 3.5, we no longer try to auto-detect your posting language. It defaults to your interface language, unless overriden by setting it explicitly per-post in the API, or setting in Preferences -> Other.

     @esi @schratze We are planning to allow people to add multiple versions of text to posts for different languages

     @Gargron @schratze understandable. Any plans/ideas regarding reintroducing it in the future or looking for some other solutions for multilingual people?

     @schratze Let me clarify that auto-detection was not removed out of malice towards multilingual people, but because of its wild inaccuracy.

     And if you want to pop up in the Explore tab, make sure to opt-in to the Suggest account to others preference on the Edit profile page and set your posting language correctly.
