Basic support for languages
Best as I can tell, the current status is:
- [x] API: Support fetching a status's language
- [ ] API: Support writing it when posting a status
- [ ] API: Support for translation
Then there's the question of the GUI.
What Toot! does for writing statuses is multifold:
- it can set the language to whatever the keyboard layout is
- it can (my preference) detect the language based on what you've typed
- you can explicitly set the language
And then for reading them, I guess it detects if the language doesn't match your system language, and then offers to translate.
So, in terms of GUI, we want some of these:
- [ ] (Definitely) support for setting and/or detecting the language when writing a post (I'm not sure detection is trivial enough to be worth it)
- [ ] (Maybe) support for displaying the language for existing posts. I haven't seen this in most clients, I don't think.
- [ ] (Maybe) offering translation.
