AO3 userscript: Just my languages 𒈾
Reduce language options to your preferences
Finding fic in the right language can be frustrating, so I spent the past couple of weeks writing and polishing a script to simplify AO3's language search and filtering options, as well as language selection for new works (useful if, e.g., you only ever write in English).
Functions (choose any combination):
Show only selected languages in the dropdown list
Bold some languages in the dropdown
Autofill for every search (filters can still be changed by hand):
Monolingual: set the dropdown with your preferred language
Multilingual: add a query to show fic in multiple languages at once (e.g. European Portuguese AND Brazilian Portuguese, "language_id:ptPT OR language_id:ptBR")
Add/remove multilingual filters with the button 𒈾 next to "Language" selector. Also works with autofill.
Set a default language for new works (can be different from the language you use for searches).
A call to mutuals and followers especially - give it a shot and let me know if the features match your actual needs? I hope it will be useful for people who browse in multiple languages and for those who only ever read in English.
(If you don't have a script manager, the Greasyfork homepage has a handy list with links by browser. Do not get Greasemonkey: it's old and many newer scripts break on it, including - probably - this one.)
also the script icon is the cuneiform unicode 𒈾 "NA" which, besides belonging to 𒂍𒀀 𒈾𒍢𒅕 aka Ea-nāṣir, also happens to look like a (babel)fish. so. that's cool
