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.

I keep auto translate off so I don’t quickly go over the DeepL free tier

Caching was recently implemented so it’ll help a bit with quota usage. Google ML Kit integration for offline translations in Damus will be coming which will give folks an alternative option without limitation. Also exploring some other options. Stay tuned.
