I know, thx, but that's not what I mean.
I've seen several websites that can auto-detect a language, e. g. GoogleTranslate.
Too many people in the Fediverse are quite unaware that they should a) set their standard language and b) change that setting, if they post in another.
With the improvement I suggested, that could be remedied.

...meantime, I try doing this manually, but forget from time to time.
Alas, if I remember correctly, it isn't possible to change the language setting without deleting and reposting, leaving all boosts and replies orphaned.
Last point: from time to time I enjoy having a post from a language I don't speak automatically translated and get into contact with new people.

*Translatlation feature does not work*
Yep, this is correct.
It is an annoying, IMHO honestly avoidable issue:
Automatic language detection seems to be an ubiquitous feature on many websites. It should be quite easy to perform in a #Fediverse app or on the PC as well, IMO.
Afterwards, a pop-up window could appear, e. g.: your post's language is set to English but appears to be in German instead. Would you like to change your language setting? "
In the...
