Comment on Steam: Updates to User Review Scores Based on Language

I like it, but currently I see two possible improvements, that I hope get added down the line.
First, being able to give a list of languages you want to factor into the score, so it’s not just your current Steam language.
Second, I’d like the toggle to disable the language filter and off-topic review filter to be separate.
Both are pretty minor for me, since I think the default settings are fine, but giving people more options is better.

I think it currently chooses the languages you’ve allowed to see for reviews if I remember correctly, or the game languages you allowed to see
As far as I can tell, it just uses whatever language you use Steam in. If that language doesn’t have enough reviews, it defaults to all languages.
I also just tried and set German as a secondary language, but it still just shows the score for English reviews. It doesn’t even mention German at the bottom of the page, where you get the summary, only all languages and English (and recent). If I change the language for the store, it also changes the source for the review score.

Isn’t this already the case?

Unless there’s a setting I missed, right now you can only change both settings at the same time.

Oops, my bad then, I didn’t test the feature yet, only read the blog post and thought “off topic” reviews didn’t change
