I'm working with the DCAT W3C Data Catalog ontology. It has a ton of
comments in around 20 different languages. It makes finding the ones you
want to read a bit hard to find. I considered deleting the non-english ones
but there are reasons in terms of how the ontology I'm building will be
used that make that not an option.

I looked at the various preferences to see if there was a way to hide
non-English annotations but didn't see anything. The one thing I thought
might work is on the dialog that comes up on File>Preferences>Renderer when
you hit the Configure button you get a dialog to define the label
annotation properties and their order and there is a field at the bottom
with the values:

"en, en-US, !"

I thought if I deleted the ! that might just show English annotations. That
was a longshot anyway because that dialog is for labels not all annotations
but I thought maybe. But nothing changes when I remove the exclamation
mark. I also thought "maybe it needs to be set before the ontology loads"
but when I load my ontology that imports DCAT the pref gets set back to
include the !

If there are any tricks or hacks to just show english while keeping the
other languages appreciate the feedback.
