One of the most requested features on Mastodon is a built-in language translation system, where you can click on a post and it automatically translates it into your language.
If this is important to you, and if you are comfortable using Github, please give this issue a thumbs up to let the developers know that this feature is wanted:

(I thought this was already being worked on, but I cannot find any official announcements saying this.)
@feditips Only if it doesn't use e.g. Google. I'm extremely skeeved out by the thought of people having a built-in button to violate our privacy.
@matt @feditips Actually! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/ [made by Mozilla]
@matt @feditips (Sending it to the Masto server you're on wouldn't be bad either, seeing as how it already has the post, but that's a world of difference from sending it to some rando company.)
