Can you filter out posts on Lemmy that are in languages other than one you speak?

I'm getting a lot of parts in languages I can't read. Can I filter for just my native language?

Just so you know but firefox is experimenting with automatic local translation of the web.

Seeing how much more superior ai is then google translate, language gaps are at the brink of dissapearing.

It'll still be tricky to translate memes since those words are often baked into the image. Unless they are doing ocr then overlaying the result, we'll need to hope someone transcribed the meme.

Thats actually coming aswel. Ai like chatgpt and google bard are gething their visual modules to understand images and text. A few demos have demonstrated the ability to understand memes in context.

We don’t need to overlay perse, Ive seen a few comment section bots already that explained what was in an image for blind internet users. As long as they are properly labeled as ai i welcome any ai interpretors that can aid global communication.
