Auto-translate member-generated content (posts, comments, DMs) for multilingual communities

We run an international women's community: members from Germany, Japan and across Europe, and we expect Spanish, French and Korean speakers soon. Right now language is the biggest barrier to engagement — members hesitate to post in their native language because no one else can read it. On the web, members can use the browser's built-in Google Translate as a clumsy workaround. In the iOS/Android apps, there's no way at all to translate someone else's post. Is auto-translation of member content on the roadmap? A useful v1 would: detect the language of each post / comment / DM show the original to readers who share that language show an inline translation (with a "show original" toggle) to everyone else work on web AND in the mobile apps — that's where the pain is greatest today Even a community-level toggle powered by Google / DeepL would be a huge unlock for international circles.
