This is already in place, feel free to use Xcode for translation

djh1997 commented 4 months ago

sorry I didn't mean to change the language of the app I meant to translate incoming messages to the same language as the app.

This is an interesting idea!

To implement this, we would just need to add a row in app settings to toggle the behavior on and off.

Then, we would add a cult to this translations API wherever the message text is rendered.

We could always fall back to the existing message. Text if the API fails, or add a tap action to the message bubble to allow the user to swap between the translated version or not

ice cubes (open source ios app on github) puts a translate button on any text that is detected to be in a foreign language it might be possible to just put the sf symbol for translate into the message bubble. I'll try to get a screen shot for you later if you want. thanks for making such a great app.
