How to Choose Which Translations Are Displayed
Why?
- Some members prefer to only see selected languages in the translations rather than all the translations.
- Sometimes this is useful when you want to quickly do a lot of linking.
How
- Go to your profile;
- In the Settings area, click on Edit;
- In Options, you'll see a field called "Languages". Just follow the instructions under that field.
- Click on Save.

Behavior
If you do not have any languages in the "Languages" list in your setting, then:
- if you set the "To" language to a specific language, you will see results in that language
- if you set the "To" language to "Any language", you will see all results
If you do have languages in the "Languages" list in your setting, then:
- if you set the "To" language to a specific language, you will see results in that language plus the languages in your list
- if you set the "To" language to "Any language", you will only see results in the languages in your list
If you want to keep your "Languages" non-empty and want to do a search that only finds results in a target language, perform an advanced search and specify that language under "Show translations in:"
Warning
- Some members who use this setting forget they have have limited what is displayed and sometimes can't figure out why sentences seem to be missing.
