If anybody that runs the website is here, may I suggest the ability to filter/sort the talks by language? Several of the talks are given in a language I'm not fluent in, and not all contain translations.

A lot of the talks are actually dubbed in English and French (and sometimes in other languages). Edit: the dubbing (like everything at the conference) is done by volunteers. You can also contribute the language filtering yourself: https://github.com/voc/voctoweb https://github.com/voc/voctoweb

  Addition: At least last year, they would often reupload videos with more languages later on. So if the talk you are interested in is not available in a language you speak, check back later.

  Are subtitled versions coming too, or perhaps just transcripts?

    They do make subtitles, although some talks from 37C3 are still marked as TODO so I’m not sure what the timeline is. You can help! https://c3subtitles.de/ https://c3subtitles.de/ And by the way, here’s the language filter issue – not a lot of discussion since it was created in 2019, though: https://github.com/voc/voctoweb/issues/399 https://github.com/voc/voctoweb/issues/399

And how many articles are non-english exactly? One of a thousand? Just leave the page and move on with your life.

  Talks, not articles, and it's a significant fraction (less than half, more than 10%, I'd guess). What doesn't help is that sometimes the title could be partially and completely in English even for talks that are in German (e.g. due to referencing technical terms or memes).

  Yeah! How dare they suggest something that would make it easier for them to consume their media! Weirdos...

As a general rule, there should be translations DE <-> EN for all talks. The team is working very hard to make this happen. Still, they are all volunteers.

It's a .de site, for a German conference.

  As someone who went to CCC more than once, it's a very international conference. Everything official related to the conference is in English (or bilingual). Some talks are in German, but a large majority is in English (at least this is how I remember it). Anyway the point is that the organisers care about non- german speakers, so it's not an unreasonable request.

  Though being able to filter out talks by language might still be useful, because there are enough non-German talks to make that worthwhile. (Also for people who only speak, say, German and Polish, and might not want to bother with the English talks.)

    They have translation both from deutsch to English and English to Deutsch, therefore filtering would make no difference.

  I don't see how this is related

The CCC conference is widely regarded in the US, and has significant relevance there.
