For some reason, Discourse decided this English posting was in Japanese:  
Help : [Can date parser be disabled for fiction writers?](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/can-date-parser-be-disabled-for-fiction-writer/9889)

How can I reset the original posting to be recognized as English and delete the English translation page?

I’ve reset the language of the post and topic title to English.

Thanks very much. I fumbled around but didn’t find any promising options.

Maybe language overrides are Admin trust-level features, not Moderator

I clicked on the language icon at the bottom of the post, and selected the “View 1 translated locale” option. You should see the following dialog:

 ![translations](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/a/ab83dd3c071bd36125d6def75d288bb5261a36b8.png)

The “Topic title language” will only be displayed for the first post in a topic.
