I really wish there was a #mastodon plugin that could on-the-fly translate toots of a different language, allowing me to switch between "original" and "translated".
@spacekookie Automatic translation means sending all our post (public and private) to either Google (Google Translate) or Microsoft (Bing) for them to index them as they see fit. All privacy efforts goes to waste. There is however translation plugins for your browser that can do the trick.
@kingu_platypus_gidora Well, yea. If anything I could have expected there to be an open-source solution that can be hosted on the same server as the instance. I wouldn't feel comfortable either sending data en-mass to google or microsoft.
I'll definitely check out that plugin though. Looks interesting
@spacekookie Sadly, as far as I know, there is no such thing as an open-source translator that is usable yet... :(
