Description

✅ Search that this request doesn't already exist before creating it.

This would require saving user preferences outside of the Mastodon account itself so I figure the answer is going to be no immediately 😅

The idea here is that I follow an account that posts in another language. I always click translate for those posts.

Would love if those posts would auto translate without the extra click! In the same spot where you choose Notify me on new messages, mute this account, etc add a "Always Translate" option.

If there is a cost related to each translation, could it just be associated to the DeepL API integration that each user pays for?

Research direction

Start by locating the account actions menu containing options such as notifications and mute, then trace the existing post translation flow and DeepL integration. The feature is done when an account has an Always Translate preference, its posts use translation automatically, and the preference persists for that user.
