English is not my primary language. The publications on Lemmy are almost all in English. Often, I need to translate a sentence or two that I don’t understand. I suggest that developers create an icon that makes it possible to translate posts with just a single click - that is, without any invasive extensions, let alone Google translator.
It would make a lot more sense for you to use a translator extension like Mate translator or something.
I also think this would be best as a browser extension, I don’t know if there are any good open source in-place translators tho. But bundling a universal translator into lemmy would make it way too bloated.
Closed source.
well, okay, true, but still, that would be a really complicated thing for Lemmy devs to do. it would make a lot more sense to help create an extension that works like mate but that is libre rather than this
