For those of us receiving email in multiple languages, it would be awesome to have #Firefox Translate built in to Thunderbird. No sending your sensitive conversations to a corporate cloud, just a lean translation service running locally.
We've decided to make it a development priority for Q1 2024!
@thunderbird are you sure ? Emails are not websites, they are usually private communication from known contacts (in a language they already know). Messages people receive in other languages are possibly/usually spam. Offering a translated spam message, could perhaps seem like ham for some people.
Unless i'm missing something(?), that option should be opt-in only, not something enabled by default (like firefox did).
@uhuru Speaking as a community manager who frequently receives questions about Thunderbird via email in Dutch, German, Spanish, and French, it seems like a useful feature to me 😉
@thunderbird sure i get its useful for some people, but i still think people like yourself are "exceptions" ( in a nice way :) ).
majority receives mostly spam in other languages..
Dont know for sure, just read the bugreport, its all technical really and about implementing the feature, no feedback about possible usecases anywhere..
