Oddbean new post about login | logout Should be possible to detect the language on client and hide the post automatically. This feature does not exist in #damus however. Would be nice.
This feature does exist on Damus and can be enabled in settings. I implemented it last year. However, I encourage folks to consider not using it and I even second guess my decision. Not being able to read content in another language is a solved problem - through automatic translations (another supported feature of Damus and other clients). Hiding content not in your preferred language means you are closing yourself off to those who may have a different perspective or culture than you. You can do whatever you want, but you’re just limiting yourself.
Is “auto translate” a paid only feature in #damus?
Sort of, it depends. And also, not for long. 1. Damus Purple, NoKYCTranslate.com, and translate.nostr.wine are all paid options with high quality translations. 2. You can create a DeepL free account for high quality translations, but requires KYC and entering a payment method (they don’t charge you). 3. LibreTranslate through self-hosting or using somebody’s server. I don’t recommend this option because translation quality and performance is poor. With iOS 18 and macOS 15, we’ll be able to add native automatic offline translation support to notes and DMs. This feature will be free. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/Translation https://i.nostr.build/nWXRM.jpg
