   This toot suggests that it is indeed going to happen: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/108119475510800815

     I'm sorry, maybe I misunderstood.

     What would you like the filter to do?

     The discussion thread on the Mastodon github had the developers exploring options like allowing different language versions of the same toot, so that it can reach people with different filter settings.

     I don't know if that's happening or not, but is this what you want to happen?

     You can toot whatever you want in any langauges, this is just an option for helping the language filter work better.

     If you use different languges in different toots, this feature is perfect because you can change the posting language for each toot.

     If you use different languages within the SAME toot, that would cause problems for any language filter. You can't half filter toots, they are either visible or not..

     @feditips What if you toot something in two or more languages, that's it, you write in a toot the same message in two languages?

     Little headsup, Mastodon developers seem to be testing a language selector in the posting interface (see attached image).

     The idea is you set the language you're posting in which will make it easier for other people to filter your post out if they don't speak it.

     You can already set your default language in the Preferences/Settings section, but the idea of this new feature is to let you optionally change the setting for each particular message. This is handy if you toot in several languages.

     I have no idea if/when this will be rolled out, the developers' instances often get test features like this.

     @feditips I mentioned in a reply to somone else, but those of you looking for automtatic translations of status updats ("toots"), if you have an Android/Linux device you can use #Fedilab Their built in translator seems to work fairly well. I like the lite version codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab_Lit… @apps
