For the record, I am a minority-language speaker myself and I am used to getting lots of hate from majority-language speakers just for existing and daring use my language in public. So I would see this feature precisely as a means to enhance minority language visibility.

That’s a noble use case! Their ignorance is disappointing. I’m just concerned that those same people will use the same feature to diminish minority languages indiscriminately and shut themselves and others out of the global conversation. The translate note feature helps with bridging global conversation for those who want to make the effort. It’s hard for me to be convinced that this should be implemented — but I’ll keep an open mind in case there’s feedback from more people that this is desired.

I’m curious what you consider a minority language? Minority where, worldwide?

Minority in our own land.
