English is not my primary language. The publications on Lemmy are almost all in English. Often, I need to translate a sentence or two that I don't understand. I suggest that developers create an icon that makes it possible to translate posts with just a single click - that is, without any invasive extensions, let alone Google translator.

I think this is a good idea, and it should be relatively easy to add once language tagging for posts is added to Lemmy. There are some different open source projects for translation, so it would be a matter of picking one, and running it in a Docker container next to Lemmy.
