Filter translations of mods.

[PolarBroOmega]

Truthfully, it clogs the "recent mods" page. I speak English, and only English. Nothing wrong with any other language, I just can't understand it so I don't really need a translation for it. With that said, I logged into Nexus today to look at Fallout 4 mods and was met with so many translations that Chrome auto-translated the page. I counted, and it's 16/20 mods that are literally just translations for other mods.

It's a clutter and makes it hard to see what things are actually being uploaded.

On any Nexus game page click on your avatar image at the top right. Choose Site preferences from the drop down. Select the Content blocking tab. By default the page shows global tags, locate the Translation tag under Content and Realism. Click the Translation tag. It should change color and now appear at the top under Currently blocked tags.

 

If for some reason you need to block any game specific tags, there is a drop down menu which defaults to Global tags. Click that and you can scroll the list for the desired game. Select the game and the available tags will change. Click any tags that you want to block.

 

If you want to unblock a tag for any reason, just click on it at the top under currently blocked tags.

Thank you! I should've figured this was already a thing, I just couldn't find it for the life of me and hoped if nothing else, a comment like this would appear telling me it's already a thing :D Thank you so much!

This will probably filter out things that OP didn't intend.

 

The English version of any mod not originally released in English will probably be tagged with Translation. Mods that include multiple language options (including English) as optional downloads will probably be tagged with Translation. And so on.

If they wish to block specific languages, they can do so with the global tags under the Language section. I pointed them to where they can filter what they see. Now that they know about it, they can play with the tag filtering to their hearts content.

As Vhin56 pointed out it is potentially counterproductive as you end up blocking things you actually want to see. NexusMods acknowledged the problem way back in 2018 (possibly earlier) but as yet nothing has been done to address it.

As I mentioned before, some mods support more than one language. The language tags aren't mutually exclusive. For example, SkyUI is tagged with English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, and Turkish. If you block /any/ of those language tags, you're blocking SkyUI, and that's just one example of many.

 

And, no, approaching it from the other end - only listing mods that are tagged with English - won't work either, because a lot of English-only mods don't even bother tagging themselves with English. So you're still blocking a lot of mods you didn't intend.

 

Tag filtering isn't flexible enough for this task.

It gets worse. Some authors don't even bother to tag their mods at all. So you can wind up with a page full of translations simply because there is no tag there to include/exclude.

 

Tags are useless for anything unless they are standardized and enforced.
