Hello #Kolektiva! We just introduced a new translations feature. 🤩

You should now see a clickable "Translate" link on posts that are translatable.

All translations are done locally (on our server) through the 100% Open Source Machine Translation API LibreTranslate: https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate

This feature is *beta*, which means not every language is available and sometimes a translation may fail, or may be of questionable quality.

We're excited about this, happy tooting!

PS: It's a little resource intensive, so it may take a moment.

This is great, thanks admin at al 👍

A question: is there a way for the ordinary user to engage with feature proposals?

Another user suggested some basic details of new followers in notifications would be a help - I tried GitHub but couldn't find anything. I can see the benefits.

@Irreverent_B For Mastodon in general GitHub would be best. For Kolektiva, for now, feel free to send a note to me. When we formalize our communication process we'll update kolektiva.info and I'll make an announcement. Thanks!
