Adding more language options to the app

[furdiburd]

As I see it in the app, the generated news articles are translates with kagi translate, which supports a very wide range of languages but in the app there are no option to set content language to Hungarian or Romainan while it i supported in kagi translate.

What would it take to increase the amount of languages that could be selected as the content language?

Yeah, I'd want to see both English and Indonesian content without translation for them, and all other languages translated.

Hey - we could technically add any language supported by Kagi Translate, but the issue is that translation isn't done on the fly. We pre-translate everything, so adding more languages means our costs increase linearly - we'd be translating every article into Hungarian/Romanian even if only a handful of users need it.

Noted your request for Hungarian and Romanian 👍

[balupton]

At least from my perspective, there are two requests here:

• Request for more languages to translate from, into the desired language(s)
• Request for more languages to show original content in, instead of just one, for when the user can already read multiple languages (my request; I want to see both English and Indonesian content, and translate all other languages into English).

Let's keep this issue for the first point, the second one is already something we are working on and should be available soon :)
