Any way to block a lenguage in the forum?

[Javier Sandoval]

I dont ment to be racist but the true is i dont understand french and chinese or other and everytime i enter the forum there are tons of posts that are not in english or spanish, so i wonder if you guys can add an option to hide all of this posts to make it easyer to find stuff and to help others, thanks for your time.

Haha, if you want to ban french to St. Helena, you just selected the wrong website.
There is google translate around, in the case some stuff you want to read, that you dont understand.

I don't speak french - but if i search something and the answer could be in an french-thread, i use https://www.deepl.com/translator ... it helps.

Many of my problems can also be solved with some identified words (i can't translate this sorry: i mean english words in french or french words which are similar to german/english) and especially numbers, commands (english) super. Complete sentences are not always necessary. Have already found solutions to problems on Chinese or Russian sites:) WITHOUT translator. .. ok sometimes that would be better to use this "don't use the command: [codeblock] abcd" (russian!) I see in the codeblock (latin letters): abcd -> use it:) sometime it helps, sometimes not... same here in the forum ... No problem with this. Yes ... it's sometimes a little bit hard to understand - but rather find a solution in French than none:)

im not trying to ban anything, im just saying a decent forum does not mix leguanges for a better user experience, here, its just a mix of lots of lenguages and therefore, when performing a search on a certain problem,the user gets tons of results in other lenguages. Like i said im not being racist, i just want a better experience, and instead of answering with such comments like this instead of looking for a solution it does not help in anything at all. Have a good day, and please do not reply unless you have something usefull to say. thanks

You know, i do understand what you saying, is just that if want it to use google instead of the forum to look for help, i would just use google. Ive been using forums for years to learn and to help others, BYOAC,HYPERSPIN,Gamex, and many forums in spanish as well, and this is the first one that really bother mes me alot, as with like yesterday, i tried to search for a solution for a dreamcast problem, and as per usual i use the search function first so i dont bother about an issue that has been discused before, but theres is no lenguage filter in the function, and i get tons of french topics, wich im not going to translate each other to see if i find something usufull on it, so i believe the reason this forums gets many of the "use the search function first" posts, are because of this. But is just me, i might be wrong, and perhaps thats one of the reasons the recalbox forums dont have a good reputation, instead of helping users seem to atack or ignore. who knows.

Good morning,

in the search function you can filter by category (for example only spanish, or english and spanish).
