Any interest in auto-translations on OddsRabbit?
Starting to get more international users, and some DMs about the site being entirely in English. Would you be interested in auto-translation features on OddsRabbit?
Now that I'm writing it out and thinking about it, this being written in English, I'm thinking this would not be reaching the right audience lol. But it's too late now, and to the Create post we gooo

I've put yes cause it's a nice feature.
I'd prefer to have a translate option rather than an auto translate.
Or at least an option to enable/disable it.
I don't need it on English or French post (and some in Spanish) but for other languages I'll use it.
Thanks, good idea.
I have a friend here I chat with who speaks Portuguese, would definitely be useful
She’s one of the people who inspired me 🙂
If auto translation is not possible, then I may need a language preference. I’m starting to see things on my feed in other languages.
Yea, I believe 30% of the current traffic is from users not in a primarily english speaking country at the moment. Will see what I can do
Okay done!
I think it's a no-brainer. If it doesn't hurt the site in any way, why wouldn't you? I'm definitely open to non-english speakers being able to access my posts and I definitely enjoy translating the other way, when the option is there.
Which method though? I like the method on Youtube where you just click translate per post... but that might not draw users in permanently, if they're having to click their way through a thread to read in their native language. How much overhead is running an autotranslater that runs constantly? Will it be a hassle to users that don't have super duper fiber connections etc. Sounds like options would be nice, I dunno.
