Hi everyone! I made a translator bot that translates statuses it's mentioned in.

To use it, mention @translator ([email protected]) in your status, followed by the two-letter code for the language you want to translate to (e.g. "ja" for Japanese) (full list of possible codes here: https://christopher.su/projects/translator/). It uses English if no language is given.

Give it a try and toot me your suggestions and comments!

@translator ja

@cs Ah. The fourth account :P

I assume it won't translate toots that are forwarded to it (i.e. someone replies to a toot and tags the bot), correct?

@jbbdude It does right now, which is kind of problematic... next item to fix is not tooting when the source language and translated language are the same.

@cs Wait, so if I reply to a foreign language toot (say, in Japanese) with "@translator en" it would translate the previous toot? That's amazing!
