Feature Request: Hide translated text

Open karnagebitcoin opened this issue 9 months ago • 3 comments

It would be great to be able to hide the original translated text. Right now it displays the original and the translation and feels difficult to scan unlike other notes.

Feature Idea: Add a translation settings option to never show translated text, OR show on tap, or show a tiny "translated from" link below it (currently there, but if you tap it, shows original text).

I like the latter - tap to show original text.

The Twitter screenshot and I think how Damus currently handles it feels really busy and hard to scan. You go from normal text to foreign text, followed by translated text, and that throws off the scannability of the timeline. I really like how we did it in Snort, though I stopped using Snort for other reasons. It just shows the translated text with the ability to show original.
