If everyone made use of the post language feature, it would entirely solve this problem. Unfortunately (at least to my knowledge) it's not possible to set a default post language, so most content is just posted as Undetermined.

Its no problem, just learn German by translating the memes.

Aquí faltan memes en español. Si queremos confundirles debemos usar más idiomas.
