How can a North American player tag a story as not being in English?

There's nothing in the (North American) AE interface that would allow you to flag the story as not being in English, so the best you could do is put it in the description and/or title.
Arc 55669 - Tales of the PPD: One Hell of a Deal (video trailer)
Arc 64511 - The Wrecking Ball
Arc 1745 - The Trouble With Trimbles
Arc 302901 - HappyCorpse
There aren't any Latin flags anyway, just French and German. They're listed as "locale" rather than language, although I'm not sure how that works...if you publish from the French server does it tag the arc as French? Do bilingual EU players have to go to a different server to publish an arc in a different language, or do they just get a button to click?

At any rate, there probably isn't a way to flag the story as generally not being in English. And for what it's worth, searching for "Latin" in the story interface fails as well; that pulls in a whole bunch of things with "platinum" and "circulating" as well as Latin. Aspiring Latin story writers probably ought to use "latina" in their descriptions to cut down on some of the false positives.

All three of them. Honestly, I don't think there's a huge demand for arcs that 1) aren't in English (at least among the English-speaking players) and 2) arcs that are in a language nobody actually speaks.|

Not that I'm saying you shouldn't do it, just don't be surprised if you get comments along the lines of "I couldn't understand a word of it, 1-star" because people are dumb.

My next short tale, Ecloga prima, will be in Latin. I was inspired by how easy it was to create fauns and satyrs in the character creator.
Is it possible to flag the story as being not in English? Or would it have to be uploaded from a European server to do that?
