to my beloved instance, soc.ialis.me, it seems we have a fair amount of both french and english in our local timeline. there's now a solution to ensure that every toot has both, thanks to @cs who created a little translation bot. simply mention it along with a two letter ISO language code and it will reply with the translation:
@translator fr
@cs @translator @EmilJacobs all of these https://christopher.su/projects/translator/#languages-table
It's clearly a small subset of possible languages, through it's interesting how it doesn't even have a complete ISO 639-1 and yet includes Klingon, Hmong and Maya!
Oh and the set of languages is what's available from the translation API that's used (Bing) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/translator/languages.aspx
