mastodon and misskey and their forks do this, not every server uses the same translation service or even provides it. it loads almost instantly underneath the original text with one tap. yes, i am serious, chinese that is written in non-shitpostese translates immaculately. we are living in the future. oh, you didn’t know there are chinese shitposters on the federations? :3
That sort of machine translation is something that I’ve always wanted from Lemmy, since I am very interested in the idea of writing more posts and comments in languages other than English, but I also feel like most people wouldn’t want to bother copy-pasting the comment into a translator. But if on Mastodon or Misskey it’s just one click to translate, and it loads instantaneously, then… Well, it gets me curious, even though I’ve never been the type for microblogging, regardless of character limits.
Hexbear itself doesn’t even let people select a language other than English when writing comments, which has always bothered me.
Piping jlai and other foreign language posts into Mastodon etcetera is preferable to me anyways since there are loads of other features like watching threads, actually getting notifications further down a thread from you, muting a thread, filtering posts for files only, or hiding replies from the timeline. But yeah it’s worth it for the translation, since you all work with an allowlist thing I’d recommend just using a microblog instance already favored by others here, and ask the admin to set it up to fetch all the posts from some lemmy instances. It doesn’t really have a lot of problems except Misskey hardcoded their check for image thing so it fucks up on the Lemmy posts. Might be fixed soon. Lucky I was mainly using Mastodon when I made my whole lemmy relay and rss server combo otherwise I would have run into more issues.
I feel like I missed something, what platform or instance is this that supports automatic translation? That sounds like an incredibly useful feature.
