New Feature Idea: Language Translator on Product Hunt? 🌐

Question

I’ve noticed some great updates on Product Hunt recently, but one feature I believe could take it to the next level is a language translator. As a platform that attracts a global audience, adding a translation option could break down language barriers, making it easier for non-English speakers to engage, discover, and contribute.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: (thoughts)

𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆: A translator would make Product Hunt accessible to a wider audience, allowing everyone to participate fully.
𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵: It would help makers connect with international users, expanding their product’s visibility across different markets.
𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: More people could join discussions and leave feedback, creating a richer, more diverse community.

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
While ensuring high translation quality can be tricky, integrating existing tools like Google Translate or DeepL, or even leveraging community input for accuracy, could be effective.

A built-in translator could make Product Hunt a more inclusive and vibrant space. What do you think? Would you find this useful?

I used to be a translator, and I'm now doing SEO for different languages, so I do feel that language really matters.

When I review the content of languages that I know nothing at all, e.g Japanese, I am always overwhelmed by those characters. Luckily, though, the translation extension tool that is available on Google helped me out. With the comparison between source text and target text, I am able to add new content at the appropriate situation and assign to the content creator.

If Product Hunt can offer a built-in translator, it would become easier for us to exchange thoughts with people from all over the world. It's a really brilliant work!
