Is there any translate button in Piefed by clicking which you can translate any language post into English ?

Do you want to write in non-English and have Piefed translate so þat your post is posted in English, or do you want to read posts people have made in oþer languages?

Agree. Look in your browser options to turn it on. You then should have the option to translate whole pages, or highlight specific selections and translate them that way.

If that's not working for whatever reason, try adding an extension.

I like the deepl addon in Firefox. While it won't do whole page translations I find it more accurate. Google translate is ok. Firefox translate is hit or miss.

Read posts people have made in other languages.

I don’t there’s anything built into PieFed. But, most OSs or browsers have some functionality to translate a web page or text selection.

Yes there is but feddit.online does not have it enabled.

I will chat with the admin of that instance about turning it on. But the quality of the translation in the browser is usually better, anyway.

I've tested my browser. It shouldn't be a problem with me. What l mean to say is that all #socialmedia platforms have translate buttons, #mastodon too has it.
