As an aside, I think it's pretty awesome that Google Translate preserves the spelling error.
I do not know if their instance can allow users to use a different language than English in the "select language" dropdown menu.
I have to use English here, but I haven't checked languages other than French and my native language. I think this is a setting that instance owners can adjust, but I am not sure.
Cool, I didn't know that. In my instance's UI the default is "Undetermined" and I have to constantly be vigilant to manually change it to "English" before posting, so I was surprised someone actually bothered to mislabel their text's language. But maybe it's just a misconfiguration on my end and not something everyone deals with.
I have a lemmy.world account as well and I was pretty much concerned about mislabelling the language my replies before. But upon discovering that I can't choose any language (I listed several in my settings, including "undetermined") other than English, I just gave up thinking about it.
I'm in the same situation, yet I still manually choose the language I post in. Even the comment you've posted now is marked "English". So maybe it assumes it's English by default? Or maybe it performs a rudimentary check on the type of Unicode characters in the post and assumes the language from it?
Oh, I have to manually choose "English" (even if the contents totally aren't). Otherwise, it'd get stuck in some sort of a "submitting" phase where a circle just keeps on spinning and yet nothing happens.
Ah, yes, that's definitely English
