Auto-translate? (self.asklemmy)

I see a lot of feeds in other languages that I don’t know (I are a merican so i just know the two - baseball and cursing.). But I’d be very interested if there was some kind of babelfish auto-translation for the other posts so I could see what they were about - does anything like that exist or is there any known effort underway to make one?

As it is, I get conflicted between blocking them because I never understand them, or just scrolling by them all. Yes, I should learn German, Swedish, Portuguese, Spanish, and that one they talk in the Britishal Kingdom or whatever, it’s, uh, like it’s on the to-do list but, like, in the meantime . . . ?

You can select the languages you want to see posts in in the Lemmy settings.

I did this and somehow still see them. Not sure the reason.
