    I want to read the German language posts. Is there a translate button on Lemmy? I tried the “Select Language” button but nothing happened.

      The problem is, that a lot of the more memey communities are using Zangendeutsch, which is basically militantly and very literally translating English words into German. Translation tools will have a hard time translating those correctly

      Firefox has a built in translator, and there are add-ons you can install if you want a different version. Won’t work on image posts though
