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.

Yep. It’s an incredible feature. Thanks again for building it!

When you spend time in other countries or learn other languages you realise how much English alone excludes you from accessing. Awesome foreign films and media, lots of web based conversations, more diverse local news coverage from people, instead of MSM crap.
