It’s really interesting that none of the traditional social platform clients support full auto-translations. You can translate on an individual post basis by tapping a button but it’s less effective in encouraging cross-language conversations and their translation quality is generally poor.

Damus fixes these problems on Nostr by implementing auto-translations and DeepL integration. Amethyst too (though it’s using Google ML Kit offline which doesn’t have as good quality translations, but works well enough). The level of global conversation unlocked here is wild. Hope to see this feature come to all Nostr clients.

Does it say that the note has been translated? Might help with things lost in translation and give the reader grounds for a more sympathetic reading

Yes, it does and shows both the original and the translation at the same time.
