I see a lot of feeds in other languages that I don’t know (I are a merican so i just know the two - baseball and cursing.). But I’d be very interested if there was some kind of babelfish auto-translation for the other posts so I could see what they were about - does anything like that exist or is there any known effort underway to make one?

As it is, I get conflicted between blocking them because I never understand them, or just scrolling by them all. Yes, I should learn German, Swedish, Portuguese, Spanish, and that one they talk in the Britishal Kingdom or whatever, it’s, uh, like it’s on the to-do list but, like, in the meantime . . . ?

    its not expensive, the chatgpt tokens are pennies… but its not free. if you volunteer to host and support it for free, let your favorite client apps know!

      I know it was just an example but is there an actual advantage in using chatgpt over a translation service, say DeepL?
