"Undetermined" language seems to prevent seeing content in other languages. (startrek.website)

As a noob this is likely me, but I tried to start a community on another server and I can't see the post (my other account used to make said community) made and set as english. Unless it's just me being a noob, that can't be good. A cursory look seems to confirm that I can't see anything aside from "Undetermined".

From what I can tell, "Undetermined" is the recommended setting for all users and communities for that reason. It's a little unintuitive.

    The results are still the same, not having other options as a user makes any external communities lose content. Is there a way to keep the local stuff as it is, but giving users more languages to choose from?

    As far as I can tell, it's recommended, since you otherwise don't see posts made in other language settings, including those that are Undetermined.

    There are probably some communities that were made without a fixed language setting, or were created before it, that don't have a language marked, and as such, if you don't pick "Undetermined", it may not be possible to see those posts.
