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.

Option to make event location visible for ticketed events.

Right now, the location is protected apparently for community privacy, so external guests won’t see the location until they RSVP. Before signing up, they see under location: “RSVP to see”. If I want the location visible before anyone signs up, the only way to do this is to make the event not ticketed. Which defeats the purpose of paid public events. There should be an option to choose whether or not you want the location visible, not a default to hidden. I get that you're going for privacy, but I'd like to request that you offer an option or on/off toggle to let folks outside of the community see the location before signing up as this may inform a potential participant's decision in signing up (if they can see the location is close by, they would be more likely to sign up – or if they sign up and see the event is very far away and not possible for them, I have to do extra admin work and offer a refund). Currently, I share the location in the event description, but I would prefer also to be able to show the event location in the ‘Location’ panel.
