Enable SN Multi Language support

[SuperAtic]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not everyone reads (and is comfortable writing) in English.

Describe the solution you'd like SN need to expand its capabilities to onboard anyone able to type on a keyboard. Not sure how it could be done. I think about Ai or third parties APIs translation services that could facilitate and solve the workload in real time. The system should also detect the browser default language and provide all the contents translated into a that specific languages.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Alice will be able to post and real all contents in Italian
• Bob will be able to read Alice posts and respond with a comment in English
• Carlos will be able to post and read Alice and Bob posts in Spanish and comment in Spanish
• BoB will be able to read Carlos comment in English and respond in English
• Alice will be able to read Carlos and Bob comments in Italian and respond in Italian ...

Additional context Either, if browser language is detected, the user should be able to select its preferred language in the setting page.

Bitcoin universal language is English. We like it or not, this is it! If you want a separate language, just create a SN territory in that language or learn English FFS.

Referring @huumn comment

Minimum viable PR

• plug DeepL API or implement any other LLM to automate translations
• set a preferred language in your settings
• add a translate button to any post or comment text that isn't in that language (it could be added as option in the menu)

Also, insteat the maual {right-click+traslate} SN could monetize from offering the service to enhance the experience. For example, enabling a translate everything option (it will have a x sats per request - also need a log to record all translation request in case are needed from the user)

Just fyi, I wrote a tampermonkey script which adds translate buttons here: https://git.ekzyis.com/ekzyis/sn-translator

It doesn't work anymore iirc (I think I hit rate limits) but it can be seen as a rough draft how this could be dealt with solely on the client.

Thanks @ekzyis it's a great solution from the user/client perspective, and the market also offers alternatives to this too. My aim was more to highlight the benefits it could bring, mostly to SN.
