Mastodon posts mislabeled with the wrong language as well as costly translations that depend on a server: Those are common problems for many Mastodon instances. In this talk, Thomas Steiner from Chrome's Built-in AI team details how he integrated the Language Detector and Translator APIs into the popular Mastodon client Elk.zone. This isn't a textbook success story—you'll hear about what initially went wrong, the technical hurdles encountered, and how they were overcome to build a feature that now runs reliably in production.
