@jmtd On every one of your posts I get an "Translate" link underneath. It doesn't happen for others (and obviously your posts are in UK-English!). Do you know if that's something specific to the debian Mastodon instance?

@jmtd It's javascript magic but when you expand it it shows as being translated by "DeepL.com"
It's not visible on the web at https://pleroma.debian.social/jmtd but is on
https://fosstodon.org/@jmtd@pleroma.debian.social suggesting it's some metadata that goes into your posts 🤷

@jmtd the posts received from your instance have a language:null attribute, where a Mastodon instance would expect a valid language code (presumably `language:EN? I couldn't figure out the ISO 639 code for Geordie 😁​).
This is the attribute that @sxa 's client use to generate a link to a translation service (incorrectly IMO, as it should sanity check the provided language code instead of just assuming that a value different from the current locale is enough, but anyways...)

@jmtd @sxa Mastodon compatible clients usually expose this attribute in the posting UI, as it's very useful for people posting in more than one language (so that their followers could automatically be offered a translation link when needed).
What client/front end are you using, if I might ask?

@jmtd @sxa Ah. So I suspect that it might be Pleroma that ignores your language settings?

@jmtd @fred Yep that has the Translate link too so it does sound like it's #Plemora causing the :null
