@prologic they did it once. Just once, that I remember. If it was done often, it would make it hard to interact. Imagine how far—not!—Linux would have gotten should Linus insisted in conducting all development in Finnish. No good, right?
Again, people can spin their pods in whatever language—actually, that would be kind of hard because Yarn’s translation is seriously lacking, but I digress—but I would like not to see twts in languages I can’t understand. Let’s say I follow “Albert”, who normally writes in English. It is all fine and dandy. If he starts interacting with people in Icelandic, more and more, I will have to unfollow him. How would that help?
Hihi, stimmt gar nicht. Der gute David hält uns für viel wohlerzogener. Oder verdrängt schnell. Ich hab nun eben mal nachgezählt und bin auf siebzehn gekommen. Vielleicht hab ich auch was übersehen, gut möglich. Das ist also die achtzehnte deutsche Nachricht, die ich dem lieben @movq schreibe. Und nun grüße ich auch alle – allen voran unseren ausgewanderten Spanier – die sich die Mühe gemacht haben, meine sinnlose Trollmeldung zu übersetzen. :-)
@lyse … must … resist … 🤣🤣🤣

@movq @lyse det er lidt kendeligt at være den eneste dansker i denne garnverden, men håber på en dag af få spedt denne trolddom til mange andre her til lands og i resten af verden og ude i rummet en dag måske.

@darch Hvad laver din københavnske bande? Er hun kun interesseret i pixelbilleder via pixelblog?
@movq widerstehen sie nicht, "Widerstand ist sinnlos, sie werden assimiliert!" Im ernst, es würde mir nichts ausmachen, übersetzungen mit Ihnen beiden zu verwenden, weil Ihre themen oft ansprechend und interessant sind und sich gerne mit Ihnen unterhalten. Und wie sie sehen können, kann ich auch fließend Deutsch schreiben. :-P
This thread is wild. 😂 Nyt, puhuuko kukaan suomea? Opin vuodesta 2017 lähtien, but I’m pretty bad at it. 🤣 (Heh, it’s fun actually, I should pick it up again.)

@movq ei, ei suomeksi eikä tanskaksi. Pidän todella kaikista kielistä, olen vain kauhea. Pystyn käyttämään sujuvasti vain englantia ja espanjaa. Ymmärrän myös (mutta en puhu) italiaa, portugalia ja vähän ranskaa.
@lyse det bliver de snart håber jeg
Ma oskan natuke eesti keelt så jeg forstår også få ord på finsk
D'accord, mon français est trés, trés mouvais. J'ai immédiatement reconnu la phrase de @movq comme finnoise, mais je ne peux pas. Comment as-tu commencé avec ça ? Et la conversation est fou, oui, oui. Très amusant. ¡@https://netbros.com/user/david/twtxt.txt>, eso suena maravilloso! Jeg krydser begge fingre, @darch.
I literally have no way of knowing what you guys are talking about. It would appear Chrome on macOS has no built in capability to do anything here, no languages are detected, there is no "highlight" and "translate" thingy. This is just awful for me 😂

@prologic easy, use Safari. Now, didn't you want people to interact in many languages, the more the merrier? This is nothing in comparison to what it may come, so, be careful with what you wish! 😜
@david I _may_ have said that of course, and I'm quite sure you can quite me the Twt Hash in which I said it 😅 -- But let's not take my "intent" out of context here 😂 You are right, and I see your point (_in fact I believe all three of you @lyse @movq and yourself @david _) have all made this point quite clear 😂 -- We are missing User-level controls around the notion of either
- I want to only see content in language X
or:
- As a User it would be nice if content in language X was automatically translated for me in my native language Y

If you recall @jlj and I briefly explored the possibility of utilising LibreTranslate here, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get very far operationally with it. I gave up 😢

@prologic as I wrote on #jlsmvha, all translations suck, just don't bother. Leave translation to the OS, or to the user, if anything. Paraphrasing myself, if the worse comes to worse, just let people pick the language they want to see the discover/timeline twts, based on a preference setting. Implementations details not clear at the moment because, really, it hasn't been an issue yet.
@david I agree, that's likely how a new "Language Preference" will have to go. And yes it's all in the details, which we haven't even begun to spec this out yet (_unless you count the various Yarns already in play 😂 -- Which I do, as they help drive the discussion, and the platform/ecosystem_)_

@prologic Yeah, I remember. I haven't given up on running it again one day, but it's certainly fallen down my list of future projects.
