Josh, et al:
With that said, the non-English posts have really little to no use for
me (except some occasional cool pics I stumble across).
Is there an option (or one in the works) to display english-only
tags[...]?
What use case do you have in mind here? The popular page? Your inbox?
The front page?
It would be possible to set up a filtering service based on page
language content - for example, you could rig del/popular to only show
you links to pages in English.
'English-only tags', on the other hand, are not well-defined. Many of
the tags English speakers use are not words, and many tags used by
speakers of other languages look like English words but aren't.
Also, many "international" delicous users speak English and bookmark
interesting English-language sites that they then tag and describe in
their own crazy moon language. So there might be interesting
human-readable content in a link even if it's marked up with foreign
gibberish.
I have an interest in auto-language detection, so if you explain
something sane and useful I might try to build it for you.
