translate alternative language instances? (slrpnk.net)

I would like to know if there's any (automatic) ways of translating the instances which are not my native language (English). I think many of them would be well worth participating in, or at least being able to lightly skim over.

I know many get annoyed by them, and end up filtering/blocking. I don't find myself annoyed by them or anything like that, I just feel like I'm missing out a bit. I think if there was an easier and more inclusive way to join in with these communities it would be a great benefit to the fediverse.

Photon has a setting option to integrate LibreTranslate.

I haven't played with it yet, but I would assume that does what you want. Other than third party clients or browser extensions offering translation capability, I don't think there's any native way to do that.

Thanks for the response. Libretranslate seems like a good solution, and I may try to mess around with it sometime, but as it stands that setup procedure is more effort than I want to put into it at the moment. I'm still learning the basics with linux.

Maybe native implementation could be something developers could work on in the future?

I'm going to say this as a joke, but it might be faster for you to learn the languages you want to interact with than wait for this feature

Probably so, but one can hope! Lol
