    It looks really nice to be honest. Hopefully more languages will be added over time. And I see they have “language detection” as one of their todo’s which means it could be hosted together with a mastodon instance and provide translation services! :)

      Live translation in chats would be another way to use the API.

      Anyways, I am actually surprised how many languages they already have (no idea about the quality of some of the models though). But if they add Indonesian, Japanese and Swahili, they got a pretty big chunk of the world’s relevant languages covered.

      Oof! Such a need! Currently, I’m kinda like “Oh, great, more posts I can’t decipher” and just scroll past them… this would help! To be fair, I also kinda like feeling that Mastodon is massively popular around the world by seeing languages I don’t get…

    I like it. Until now I tried to use Wordnet dictionary and Apertium translator to be able to understand complex texts in english but now… >////<

      I think it’s a webfrontend for that, so the same. Edit: on a second look, maybe not. One is called Argos, the other Apertium.
