New guy question:

Are there any good extensions for Nostr that auto-translate "latest" or "Trending" or whatever from X language into the local language?

Feels like this instantly unlocks a few things:

1. If it's an "open source" dictionary of a type, you get a quick look at local "slang" which makes AI translations better faster. (See also: Bae or Chuffed in English).

2. Increased speed to information distribution. Not that Nostr-crack is what we want, but this will help decentralize away from MSM if people are able to get their news somewhere else in their native tongue. (Bonus if they can correct colloquial mistakes for others "Revise translation" - Zap reward for "correct" support?)

3. Insights like NVKs can be spread to combat Propaganda. It's great that we can see this in English, but if you're Mammy somewhere and this is your first phone (thinking 5 years when Nostr is more mainstream), the way you exit the matrix is truth.

Just a question from a noob.

Thanks!
