By default I tend to see a lot of German and Greek posts in amongst the English ones.
It might be nice to have an option where the app can translate these in the default view, either on demand or automatically. (perhaps cached on the server to save CPU time?)
Even if it’s just the post title, that could be interesting.
Does this work for you? IDK if you’re on iOS, Android, or something else.

Not directly as Voyager uses its own menu system. The nearest option is to select ‘Share’ from the menu, then select the Translate app.
That’ll translate the article, which is useful. What I was hoping for was a translation in the feed itself so you would know if the article is interesting.
Thanks for your suggestions.
I just tested on iOS to try to translate a title and this doesn’t work within Voyager. Long pressing a title to select and translate will instead take you into the post/comments and attempting a long press to select and translate a title from there just collapses the post body 😕
Bummer. Well, maybe the dev can look into it and if it’s possible enable translation using iOS’s built-in solution.
For people on degoogled Android, what’s the solution? I imagine a lot of Lemmy users use that.
IDK, I was just noting that this might work but I wasn’t sure. Maybe someone who uses de-googled Android knows of a similar solution that doesn’t use Google’s services.
