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 Saw at least one user request that the translator post using unlisted toots, so that the Federated (and Local) Timeline(s) don't get flooded by translations...

@cs Crap. Meant to include "but not sure if you saw that already" at the end of that toot.

Well, count this as a +1 on that request, then. Seems like a legit request to me.

@sendoshin Whoops, I should fix that. Hadn't seen that yet, thanks for bringing it to my attention! I'll fix it when I wake up in the morning :) (3 am here now)

@sendoshin This was keeping me up, so I just pushed the change 😛 Should be 'unlisted' now.

@cs I know that feeling all too well. 😁 Sleep well!
