Not sure if it’s a free feature or an easy idea to deploy but it would be nice to have the ability to translate a post to my language

Thanks

Apparently this is not coming soon, but depending on your device/browser you could select the text and then translate it. It is definitely possible (Photon has it), but it is problematic as their is no simple way to just translate the text without using a paid API.

Photon technically has it but you need to use your own libretranslate instance since I'm not paying for that.

I asked a long time ago if it was possible and was told basically no and never going to happen.

Do you remember why it isn’t going to happen?
