The workaround fix that 99% times but sometime the detected language is wrong and posts are badly translated.

Why don't opt-in the transaltion with a preference and we off let click-to-translate?

Seems a sensible solution, perhaps more privacy focused too (I suppose an external service is used, right?).

However, Amethyst is great, my daily driver on Android!

My hope is to develop a set of settings where auto-translation is naturally accepted in the default experience.

We may have some options, but keeping autotranslate by default is a key user experience advantage in my mind. Even when translations are not perfect.

A world where we can all talk to each other is better than a world where we just talk to our peers in the same language, or a world where there is some friction to access an external group (like actively pressing a button to translate)

Not easy to solve. But we have to try.

说的太棒了,坚持做难有意义的事会更有意义。我再复制一遍:“A world where we can all talk to each other is better than a world where we just talk to our peers in the same language, or a world where there is some friction to access an external group (like actively pressing a button to translate)

Couldn't agree more

Agree. Love that it's on by default. I'm already starting to think like a Chinese bot.

在现代性的条件下,我们并没有一个像神一样的宗教信仰,可以作为共同的出发点。于是我们特别需要沟通,需要彼此交流,来尽可能达成共识。这个共识可能不总是那么坚定可靠、一劳永逸,但仍需要不断交流。

Maybe look into Fedilab implemented this with there Android client? I want to say they had something running on their server to do it. LibreTranslate?

Thx 😎

Auto-translate é vida! ❤️
