Reddit can now translate posts into eight totally different languages when viewing them on Reddit’s iOS or Android apps or on the internet whereas logged out, based on a put up from a Reddit admin (worker). To start out, posts will be translated into English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, and Swedish.

I attempted it out by trying at this put up in r/France. It’s in French, however when logged out on the internet, I can translate it to English by clicking the “Translate” hyperlink on the high left of the put up. When logged in on the iOS app, I can see the “Translate” hyperlink, too.

Since I don’t communicate French, I can’t communicate to the standard of Reddit’s translation. (The admin mentioned in a remark that the corporate is at present utilizing “Google providers for translations in a way in keeping with our privateness coverage.”) However the translated put up in English appears wonderful to me.

Nevertheless, you most likely can’t learn full translated threads simply but: Reddit says it’s solely began experimenting with translating the feedback underneath posts and solely on iOS and Android. Full translation of posts and feedback appears to be Reddit’s plan, although, because the admin writes that “quickly, your whole dialog expertise on Reddit will be multilingual!”

The admin’s put up additionally reminds customers that Reddit is about to deprecate its earlier cash system, which means you quickly gained’t have the ability to thank a stranger for supplying you with gold. The final day cash will work is Tuesday, September twelfth, and based on the admin, Reddit has already deprecated the flexibility to present awards on the Outdated Reddit design and on the “cellular desktop expertise” (which I’m guessing means cellular internet).

Reddit has promised that there will probably be some sort of awards system down the road however hasn’t but shared particulars. Android Authority discovered proof in Reddit’s Android app that the brand new system could let customers flip gold or Reddit karma into actual cash, which doesn’t sound like an awesome alternative.
