 * Is it possible to show whatever language I want via the shortcode? For example
   I want to list my english posts on the french side of my site, I tried using 
   the taxonomy_terms parameter to specifically filter an english category but that
   doesn’t work. Zero posts show up.

 * hi [@mtlsam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mtlsam/),
    Usually ALM will 
   auto-detect the language though I have not tested with WPML or Polylang in quite
   some time.
 * You may want to try setting the lang parameter using the `alm_query_args` filter.

 * or `custom_args` option.
    `[ajax_load_more custom_args="lang:en"]`
 * Let me know if this helps at all.
