I get this error when trying to reply on kbin on communities hosted on Lemmy.world. I don’t know whether this is a wefwef problem or if it’s just the messenger to a problem with Lemmy world. For the record I do have a language set in my profile

It’s related to the language of the parent comment. I’ve found Kbin comments are showing as Undetermined on Lemmy, despite having a language set on Kbin.

When replying to an Undetermined language comment, Lemmy seems to try to use the same language and generates an error (although the error is silent in a browser rather than API/app).

A work around is to reply to the comment directly on your Lemmy’s instance via a web browser (not in Voyager), and selecting a language other than Undermined on your comment.

The issue is with Lemmy rather than Voyager, but Voyager are tracking the issue here.
