Hello “Mast”ers,
Is there way for users to setup translation for posts to preferred language in Mastodon?. In my case, my preferred language is English and I would like for an option at the bottom or in the ellipsis to translate it on request. This way we would have access to more streams of thoughts and perspectives without the confines of the language. Is it just about tweesecake enabling it?
Translation is accessibility too.

@RamAnA11y This depends on your instance, yes. If they have set up translating then it will show a "translate" button.
E.g. this what it looks like on Mastodon.de:
@RamAnA11y Sorry, apparently this is part of base Mastodon now (see https://fedi.tips/is-there-a-built-in-language-translation-system-on-mastodon/), adjusted my post accordingly.
@max I checked. While I have another account with mastodon.social which allows Translate as long as you have set a preferred language tweesecake.social does not have that setting. Can @mods please enable #translation for this site if possible ?
@RamAnA11y Hi there, for sure. We can check this out.
@mods thank you. Looking forward to this being enabled.
