Set blog to be read only in English?
-
In the Settings, it says:
“Language
The proofreader supports English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. Your blog language setting is the default proofreading language.“
________________________________________Is there a way that I can set my blog to be read only in English and not in any other language?
~Peregrine
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Yes. Dashboard > Users > Personal settings
Look for the English Options section above the one you are pointing to.

I do not understand. I earlier on went to this page that you mention and I checked ”Specify the language this blog is written in.“ Of course it is toggled at English, and I checked off all the English options except for ”jargon.“
I think that my original question was not clear, now that I look at it again!!! I mean: I do not want my blog to be translatable to any other language other than English.
Is that possible? I searched through the Settings and do not see any area that has to do with translating the blog to be readable in other languages.
~PeregrineP.S. Timethief, thank you for all that you typed out up there for me. Sorry I wrote the question out incorrectly.

You’re confusing the PROOFREADER with actual readers. The proofreader is a program, and that little note about different languages just means that the proofreading program is capable of detecting errors in any of those languages.
Unless you go out of your way to install translation widgets, etc, or actually write in languages other than English, your blog is readable in English, period.
Note that some search engines and websites like Babelfish will translate web pages (generally poorly) and there is nothing you can do about that other than make your blog private. That’s not a WordPress.com issue; that’s a web issue.

What raincoaster say is true. There’s nothing you can do about that other than make your blog private.I have installed translation on my blog into 53 different languages using a Foogle translation workaround provided by ismailitmail. I did that after I observed how many different countries were represented by readers in the feedjit in my sidebar.
I can’t imagine why anyone would not want their blog content to be available to as many readers as possible. Would you care to share why you do not want your blog to be translated into any other language other than English?
-
Raincoaster, thanks for the info to my question. I will just not pay any more thought to not having my blog translatable. I consider this thread closed now.

@~Peregrine
Hi hi! you are the one who should mark this thread as resolved; go up there near the top and you’ll see where you can make the mark.
-
I just now came back and saw that after I had marked it “resolved” it was back to saying “unresolved.“ I figured I forgot to hit Save, so I toggled back to ”Resolved“ and then hit Save.
I figure that since it was my question, and the question is answered, I can decide that it is resolved. ~Peregrine

Tess: I misread your post! I see that I actually did what you suggested! :-) :-) I thot that you had written ”you should not……“
FYI: I went to a California Pizza restaurant and was informed that they were serving little appetizers of KOREAN BUL KOGI tacos! Maybe you should get a recipe for bul kogi. I would make it. As it is, I have tried the powder packets from Kikkoman or whatever, and it tastes ok but not as good as in the Korean restaurants

Hi lorna
Gak, I knew you first that way (lorna) , So: HI Peregrine!
The resolved thing now is working: great.MMM. I’d say that the KOREAN BUL KOGI tacos sound interesting, but lately my time is stressful. Right now I am slowly doing a series of posts about different sesame sauces used very often in Japanese cooking. Hope that is not a disappointment for you?
-
Oh my God no!!! I love Japanese cooking. I began buying Sesame Oil to give my Asian food more authenticity. Authenticity heck, I mean to taste better, plain and simple. I also like Chili Oil.
Plain old meat tastes so much better…… but I should not even be talking this way since last month my doctor said that I was slightly north of the ”You Are Diabetic“ borderline.
