What best describes how you interact with foreign language content on Mastodon?

Obviously not all content is treated the same, mostly I'm curious about first option vs other options.

Personally I like to try if it's something like Dutch, German or French where I either have some proficiency or there's a lot of shared grammar/vocab with languages I know, but I think machine translation nowadays is good enough that I can enjoy most content written in almost any language.

@benjamingeer
I think the use of ‘foreign language’ to mean ‘unfamiliar language’ may be exemplified with such phrases as ‘Teaching English as a foreign language’. Although, strictly speaking, this means ‘Teaching English in a country, where it is not the main language’, it may be taken by many to mean ‘Teaching English as a second, unfamiliar or non-native language’. The Wikipedia article describes this confusion.

in reply to Head·word /ˈhedˌwɜː(ɹ)d/ n.

@headword I personally avoid the term “foreign language”, because I think it implies a nationalist ideology in which a nation owns “its” language(s), and all others are given a lower status because they are the languages of “foreigners”.

Trying to get the laptop to start up, so I can work on my blog a bit.
My mum just texted me to say that she's on the way. She'll help me shower and then clean my bandage.
Arwen will probably want another walk before it gets too warm again. My phone says it's 21 degrees, the weather station says it's 23. But today is said to be another warm day... ☀️

Hope you'll all have a lovely day today!

Awwww :ablobcatheartsqueeze: Fankoos! I've had a shower, so my body and hair all feel good again. 😊 I'll give Arwen all the scritches I can! (especially during walkies, as she sniffs through the higher weeds and gets all the rubbish of them on her fur). 😊

A veure si ho entenc. El nostre estat forma part de la OTAN. I si ens ataca algú, tots responem. Però si algun estat de l'OTAN comença una guerra, la resta també està en guerra?
No a l'OTAN!
No a la tercera guerra mundial!
Reclamo que les Nacions Unides intervingui sancionant a tots aquests països agressors.
