    I want to read the German language posts. Is there a translate button on Lemmy? I tried the “Select Language” button but nothing happened.

      The problem is, that a lot of the more memey communities are using Zangendeutsch, which is basically militantly and very literally translating English words into German. Translation tools will have a hard time translating those correctly

      Firefox has a built in translator, and there are add-ons you can install if you want a different version. Won’t work on image posts though

      “Select language” is to mark the language you are using in your posts and comments. Don’t know for what, maybe for others to filter stuff out?
