I recently had an issue with some comments not being visible to another user as it was flagged in another language his account doesn’t show.
I am aware of the filtering settings regarding comments displayed. But I cannot find any default settings how comments are flagged in a language or none at all.
Can someone help me how to set it up that comments I write are kept in “undetermined”? I use Lemmy in browser and through the Voyager app.

You do not want this. The language flags exist for a reason, and provided the community you are posting/commenting in is configured correctly, things should work right on their own.
This is because “default” is determined by the languages set for the community you are posting/commenting in, not your account. (Though some clients have had trouble respecting this).
If “undetermined” was your default, but that weren’t enabled for the community, the comment/post wouldn’t go through. Clients that don’t respect this run into errors when users try to post or comment. Hence, unless you manually set the language of your post/comment, what it ends up as depends on where you are posting/commenting.
It’s not something you can configure as a user (unless you mod a community).
It’s worth noting that you can select multiple languages in your account settings, to make sure you’ll see any and all relevant content.
Additonally, if you post everything with “undetermined” that still means that people who don’t have that “language” enabled, can’t see your content. It’s not a “everyone will see this” setting.
