It does. If you set your language of posting mastodon browser automatically adds a translate button on readers needing a different language.

Ah thank you. Do you know if this works for the android app as well or for the web only right now?

@inno4295 Doesn't Mastodon already have some limited translation ability? You have to set the native language of your account as I recall.

@RichSPK

Ah thank you. Does the translate button show up in the android app as well? Thx.

@inno4295 I use Tusky on Android, which isn't the official Mastodon app. I just looked at a couple foreign-language toots and didn't see a translate button, but I'm not sure they set the language for their accounts.
