I find myself blocking a lot of foreign communities just because they're foreign. It feels wrong and unnecessary. This is the future isn't it?

If I set my settings to English why can't I just use Lemmy in English and never know that the person I'm chatting to is doing so in German and they never know that I'm doing so in English?

Firefox already has a build in translator you can just let it translate for you so you at least could read what they're writing at least for the languages supported it's really cool because it's a offline translation.

I live in Korea and Korean is not supported, also google translate doesn't work on Korean websites so I use https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist/ which allows me to translate from Korean to English.

It'd be really nice if the Bergamot translation project that Mozilla uses becomes big enough that it ends up being used in other apps as well. That'd be cool if you could get the engine as a mobile app and the apps could simply send a local translation request to it.
