It looks really nice to be honest. Hopefully more languages will be added over time. And I see they have "language detection" as one of their todo's which means it could be hosted together with a mastodon instance and provide translation services! :)

Live translation in chats would be another way to use the API.

Anyways, I am actually surprised how many languages they already have (no idea about the quality of some of the models though). But if they add Indonesian, Japanese and Swahili, they got a pretty big chunk of the world's relevant languages covered.

Imagine integrating it in Lemmy for full multilang post support.

Oof! Such a need! Currently, I'm kinda like "Oh, great, more posts I can't decipher" and just scroll past them... this would help! To be fair, I also kinda like feeling that Mastodon is massively popular around the world by seeing languages I don't get...
