Good morning #CoSo!
I think we might have a new team challenge to consider this month.
Last night I saw a new arrival struggling in Portuguese with the site's layout.
As we scale, we're going to need to translate that CoSo guide (and my visual aid for layout!) to other languages.
(In the future, an embedded translator, too, but baby steps!)
This would 100% help the site achieve greater reach, but it's an investment.
Would anyone be up for thinking through this translation project together?
@MLClark There is already an embedded translator 😁
You can switch it on in your preferences and it auto translates all toots into your language of choice.
What? Even my 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
@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.)
@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!
@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!
