I am one of the many Lemy converts from the reddit exodus to give context of my experience using Lemy. I exclusively use the sync app for Android.

In my eary days here I was shocked to find how much content was in languages other than english. I can usually manage with posts that are links to articles by having them open in browser and use a translating extension.

However I was wondering if there were any ways to have the content only available in the sync app to be translated?

Fuck it’d be awesome if on my zfold multiwindow function to even have the native language in sync with the translated version in another window to let me pick up on some of the other language’s commonly words and phrases. But I’d be happy with just being able to read their English translations.

    Which community do you follow, and do you filter by language? On lemmy, unlike reddit, you can and should tag the language of your posts.

    The best answer is get some language courses, alternatively, you could try to copy pastes content in deepl. I know that now Firefox includes a translation module, but never tried it

    If you browse via your browser there are browser extensions that automatically translate.
