In topics with multilingual/translated posts (like mine above), you’ll now see a ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/c/e/ce9d491eacd7e649ab685ff53b8474d0a877cf19.png) button at the top of the topic right-hand sidebar. This will allow you to configure your language preferences: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/3/9/39ac6cd54bae9145cfd5e8eb1616bca8c8172875.png) If you add Spanish to a language you understand (or untick translation), you’ll see my shoddy Spanish directly. You can also configure this in [your interface preferences directly](https://discourse.julialang.org/my/preferences/interface). We may in the future add more supported languages (or turn this back off) but this seems like a great way to dip our toes in the water here. Let us know how it goes! Do note that due to a Discourse limitation, you can’t directly declare your post’s language as you author it with the “Post language” selector — you just have to leave that unset and let the auto-detector detect it for you. You can change it later if it gets it wrong. --- _[View the full topic](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/should-we-enable-automatic-natural-language-translation-here/139273)._
