I think it would be a helpful feature to have the text of a post or comment be brought into Google Translate. If you could click on the … symbol/long press options for a post or comment and had one of the top option be translate which opens the text of the post title or comment in Google Translate, within the app. BlueSky has a feature like this why I find helpful, and I believe Apollo had a feature like this back in the day. It would be handy to have this as a feature to help improve engagement and breakdown communication barriers.

      I was not aware of this, thank you for sharing! I agree having a non-Google connected option would be better.

      I hope this takes off. Unfortunately for now, the number of supported languages it rather limited.

    This is something I’ve wanted to do. I have some ideas. Unfortunately it would just operate per comment, not the entire thread.

      Thank you for your reply, and that would be more than okay for most people. Per comment is still solid!

    When i hit the share button under your post text in voyager i can share it to the google translate app and from there i can translate your post.

    It opens the whole web view https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/33567905 though.
