The three-dots menu fails to provide translate option for followers-only posts.
The three-dots menu fails to provide translate option for followers-only posts.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to the three dots menu on a followers-only post, click on it and see that the translate option is missing.
Expected behavior I expect to see this option as I do in public posts.
Versions Pachli 2.6.0 Android 13 Server using 4.2.10
Affirmation I have checked other issues for this project (open and closed) and I cannot find one that matches the problem I am reporting.
This is a feature of the Mastodon API.
Follower-only and direct message posts cannot be translated.

A future version of Pachli will include on-device translation support to mitigate this.

TIL. Sorry to have bothered you and thanks so much for the prompt reply and excellent app!
When you do support on device translation I wonder if it'd be possible to manually override the post's language setting? A lot of multilingual posters forget to change it.
I'm going to close this for the moment. After doing some work on on-device translation I've discovered that it doesn't interact well with Mastodon's content. There's more details on the problems in https://github.com/pachli/pachli-android/issues/63#issuecomment-2748253408.
