👀 I just enabled the translation feature on metalhead.club for testing :)

Try it and let me know what you think!

This is how I got it working: write.as/sweetmeat/how-to-acti

DeepL API access is free of charge for up to 500,000 characters per month. I guess that will be sufficient for now.

Btw privacy implications: None. Feature is only available for public posts.

@thomas Awesome, thank you! A lot of German metalheads here so this comes in handy. Tested it on a couple of posts, and it seems to work ok (from what I can tell based on my very limited German).

@thomas Does this have to be done by the instance ADMIN? If so @stux can we please have it??

@thomas Do you happen to know what determines whether the translate button shows?

Right now, for me Translate shows for German toots (including my own, which is of limited help for me). Does it depend on the interface language set? Is there an option to disable it for specific languages?
