Is your proposal related to a problem?

When putting a post/comment, I'm requested to select the language which I use in the post. However, when I post a post/comment in more than one language (e.g., a song in Italian but the post is in English) the most appropriate solution would be to mark both languages and not one.

See this link for example: https://lemmy.world/post/253451

Describe the solution you'd like.

I'd like to have the option to mark a post as a multilingual one, and select more than one language.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

There is no real alternative solution here. The possibility either exists or not. To my understanding.

As I understand the purpose of marking languages is for users to see content that they understand. So multi language post/comment should be undefined/no language.

Hmm...

But "undefined" is not informative. I mean, if there is a post that is aimed at Italian & English speakers, "undefined" will not let them know that this is relevant for them.

Same as if there is a post where the same messages is written in two languages (e.g., Hebrew and Arabic) since it is addressing two population in the same region. Again, there is no way for them to know that this is the case.
