Do any Fediverse apps have inline translation of toots? #AskFedi

@neil That would be useful, although it would be important to signal clearly when a post is a machine translation, not the exact post the user wrote. Ideally we'd want to use a free code translation engine too, rather than be dependent on proprietary systems.@RovingFox

@strypey @RovingFox Completely agree - my toot was a bit unclear. I would like to see things in the original language by default, but be able to click a button to get an inline translation within the client app. At the moment I copy and paste to DeepL, which tbh works well enough for my own needs, but in-app could reduce friction if you have a heavily multi-lingual timeline. Seems Fedilab offers this according to other responses.bob mentioned as a libre service - https://libretranslate.com/
