One thing I really miss from twitter is the translate link. I was following quite a few people who were not tweeting in English and it opened up some horizons.
I'm sure automated translation is being discussed on mastodon. Any idea what the status is?
@cleoqc Some browsers allow you to select text and choose 'translate' in the context menu. Check if yours has this feature as well? I know Vivaldi has it.
@trinsec I mostly use mobile apps to read the instances I'm on so I don't get the translate option. Also it's only a toot here and there that would require it, not the whole page. I'll have to check if Firefox has it but I don't think so.
@trinsec oh my apologies. I missed the "select text" suggestion. That would work, even though it would be time consuming. It's probably a question of time before we get an open source translator. Just need to be patient...
