Milestone: Notes and Actors with languages
Well, it's that, our notes now have a language attribute.
... All right, all right, it's not just it.
Here's what comes with it:
- Filter the streams with only the languages you know
- Make Tag Wrangling possible and transversal to languages
- Federate the language for a more inclusive free network

Finally, when posting the language with the highest priority is selected by default.
However, by accessing "Additional options", another language may be selected. The resulting
note will have the html lang
attribute according to it.
What does this mean?
We can now show you the notes you can read, but for groups, this mean that you can access umbrella groups and filter the feeds to see what's in your language and even region.
For too long the fediverse struggled with languages, this step makes it easier for actual internationalization of the free network.
