@mickcarty @stueytheround ESPECIALLY your gibberish! 😉
@mickcarty I'm not sure there's a supercomuter in the world that could translate you, my friend!
However @MLClark in the app, tap the burger top right and you'll see something like this
Isn’t a supercommuter just someone with a rail season ticket?
They ain’t all that
@mickcarty 🤣 bloody typos!
🤔 Isn’t that a Greek island?
@mickcarty Just across the way from Argos. 😜
@stueytheround Hi again, Stuey! Do you know where the translator is on the desktop? The phone app is easy - it pops up right over your profile when you click on the burger - but I don't see the same easy access on my desktop, and I can't find language options when I click through to preferences on the desktop either. (I'm thinking this is just a visibility issue, rather than it being entirely absent in the desktop version, though.)
@MLClark Sorry. I only use desktop if there's a feature I need to use that's not in the app, like countershare, so I'm afraid I have no idea!
@stueytheround Ah. That's probably also why I never saw translator functionality! Good to know. Just taking notes of what needs to be made clearer, cheers!
@stueytheround Ah, terrific! That's one ítem off the list, then. Usually I see a prompt to translate available on the text object itself, but if it's a secondary feature to be switched on elsewhere, despite my computer being in Spanish automatically, that makes sense.
There *is* an argument to be made for having item-specific translation available; it does wonders to see multiple languages on one's feed, and to translate only if you'd like to pop in, but that's not a *necessity* right now.
@stueytheround On Twitter, I had Hebrew, Hungarian, Arabic, French, Portuguese, Mandarin, Spanish, Greek, Hindi, Japanese... it really helps a place feel *global* to be able to see everyone's content natively. But item-specific embedded translation is a demanding ask. It can definitely wait!

What? Even my gibberish?
