  The blog has gained three comments, and although at least one seems to be based in Ireland and is in English, all three comments appear to be in Chinese.

  I don’t know what to do to fix it.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It’s probably spam.

  You can only set up the interface language for the blog. You cannot restrict comments to a specific language only. I am getting,lots of spam in Chinese and Akismet is catching it. If that’s what’s happening on your blog then leave it be. There is no such thing as eliminating all spam but Akismet works very well. For more information please take the time to read “5 things every blogger should know about spam” on this page Akismet: How it works http://akismet.com/how/

  Akismet is a learning engine. If you get spam that slips by Akismet then mark it as spam (do not delete it) and over time Akismet will learn it’s spam.

  Thanks! I fished out the Irish one by going to the email address and at first that was Chinese, too, but after clicking around a bit it changed to English. It did seem to be a business site.
