Nostr Web Client

How should I approach multilingual content here? I sometimes want to share an article that is in Czech or slovak language.

My options are: prefix the post with CZSK or flag emoticons or create a new account.

I don't want to bother people who don't understand the language with content they don't understand, but maintaining two accounts is a bother for me. Most clients don't support switching of accounts and also people who follow my English account don't necessarily know about the other account.

More systematic solutions would be:

A. mark the note language while writing (client can autodetect and suggest) and include it in the note as metadata. Clients could support setting languages I speak and show me only content in those languages

B. Do it on the viewer side. Detect languages of notes and show me only those I understand. Alternatively, attempt machine translation automatically

C. Don't stress too much, occasional weird language in the feed does not matter.

English translation of the title or tldr together with the original link seems elegant to me.

What about accounts that only speak different language and the reposts?

Many posts are not relevant in English. For example new tax law for crypto in Slovakia should be most probably ignored by anyone who does not speak the language.

Who should do the tldr? When i post in czsk, I do it precisely because it is relevant only to the speakers of the language and I don't want to waste my time with writing English tldr, nor the time of my followers by getting irrelevant content.

A translate option like twitter has sure would be good, for reposts at least. But everything else, even the new tax laws news are interresting for wider audinece.
