Request: An option to show text in google translate (lemm.ee)

I think it would be a helpful feature to have the text of a post or comment be brought into Google Translate. If you could click on the … symbol/long press options for a post or comment and had one of the top option be translate which opens the text of the post title or comment in Google Translate, within the app. BlueSky has a feature like this why I find helpful, and I believe Apollo had a feature like this back in the day. It would be handy to have this as a feature to help improve engagement and breakdown communication barriers.

Could try to integrate what the Firefox web browser uses for web page translations. Just as an alternative to Google

I was not aware of this, thank you for sharing! I agree having a non-Google connected option would be better.
