Does #Friendica have an #AddOn that the instance-owner can install on their server, which allows per-post translations, like nowadays widely available in Mastodon? 🤷♀️
@utopiArte T/y. I use a desktop browser [#Floorp, an excellent #Firefox #ESR fork] & in the absence of a more elegant option, have been copying target posts to clipboard, then pasting into my Floorp #WebPanel of about:translations. This though is clunky & "high friction" such that i often lazily instead opt to skip right over non-English posts in my timeline.
Given there's apparently nothing server-side to help here, prolly i shall reinstall the FF #AddOnhttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/, which i uninstalled comparatively long ago once FF's native local translation tool came along. The AO has one advantage over the native tool though, it includes a context-menu option to translate selected text. I didn't need that any more back in Masto, but it seems now here in #Friendica, i need it again.
That reminds me, I already have a local instance of #LibreTranslate configured on my #Iceshrimp / #Misskey instance (I'm running a few different ones, to see which one sticks) and I should check how did they program their version to see if I can build something similar via PHP someday.

You should be able to create work around by using the APP fedilab or on desktop with browser tools that do the same.
