One of our most important features.
nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z I just realized when using another client that multiple people I follow aren't posting in english. The translations in #Amethyst are awesome.

More than anything else this feels like the future. An absolutely amazing feature.
Hijacking thread..
Are therre any instructions on amethyst auto translate feature?
There are users that selected "never translate" for a language and are unable to switch it back on.
What languages get auto translated? Is it dependant on system languages?
This is one of my favorite features. Sometimes, you don't even know that you're talking to people from different nationalities & culture. It's incredibly powerful.
This!
It's like Star Trek universal translator black magic shit. So cool!
Ya I can't even use a diff client after 9pm cause my entire feed turns into Japanese 😂
Is there a way to turn it on and off? I read a bit of Japanese and sometimes like I like comparing the two versions.
Honestly I went "Oh!..." When I first noticed it in action. Felt like magic x3

Translation option is available in F-Droid version?
No, only on the Play version
Would it be possible to implement a free translator, like libretranslate in F-Droid version? 😊
Possible? Sure. I am not sure if it's desirable. No one likes these translations services that require all your messages to get sent to a server. It would be a lot better if they created a local model to translate in-device like the Play version does.
You're right, I've checked a bit the code and I've seen that the google play version uses local translation with mlkit, which I think is very good, I thought it used google translate api.
LibreTranslate and Mozilla Translate provide translation models to be used offline, but they don't have plugins so they can be integrated into android apps ☹️
taking up this suggestion, would it be possible for nostr:npub1m6jhuayzk6yhhsfzga6wkfjt7kev4lpwvp33he5g5kjc3cg4vusqg6whzt to build an offline library alternative to mlkit that could be integrated into Android apps, based on libretranslate? I think it would be an interesting project for the progress of libretranslate and its integration in apps (such as Amethyst).

My favorite feature. I always loved speaking to people of other perspectives and culture🤷🏽
