Hide translate selector if only one language available for now?

Hello there,
We’re preparing our setup so it may be easy to welcome new languages in the future. Hence, we have translate fields everywhere :

But for now, content will only be in one language and the interface can appear clumsy and confusing for people “why would I need to select a language?” Our customer might actually never add a new language btw.

As default language is set, is there a way we could just hide the language selector please?

I checked the css but I couldn’t find there any direct selectors. Another strategy maybe?

Thanks!

Heya! There’s no config for this, but it’s a great shoutout and something that should just work like that by default. When using the translations field with only one language, it shouldn’t be a dropdown. I’ll jot this down as a feature request on our end for future consideration. Thanks! :slight_smile:

Hey - thanks for the feedback - what’s the use case if you’re only utilizing a single language in your Directus instance?

While not showing the dropdown from a purely UX perspective makes sense, I’m wondering how the translations interface itself is proving value here (if not supporting multiple languages).
