Hi there,
I believe Akismet is designed to catch spam comments, as opposed to filtering for specific language. Staff will likely have more insight to contribute, so I will tag modlook for further information.
If you’re experiencing problems with comments, please see this doc for more robust tools you can use in addition to Akismet:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-moderationThe Comment Moderation tool allows you to designate certain words that will trigger a comment to be held for moderation before posting.
I hope this helps!

Hi there,
@eozolins87 is correct. Akismet filters for spam, not for specific content/language. If you don’t want comments containing specific content to be posted on your site, you can add the relevant words to the moderation list or the comment blacklist in your site’s discussion settings (one word per line) so those comments will either be held back for moderation or automatically deleted.
