I'm following some people who post in a variety of languages and now I am thinking about building a translation feature into monocle now
#
cweiske
(or a filter to remove unsupported languages)
#
aaronpk
Nah I wanna know what they're saying
#

pretty sure I want it to work like Twitter, where there's a little "translate" button I can tap and then it adds the translated text below the original

yeah I wish Firefox asked to translate automatically like Chrome
#
[jgmac1106]
when I see a post in other languages, I copy url, move to Chrome, translate and read
#
KartikPrabhu
[jgmac1106] you can translate in FF using add-ons
#
[jgmac1106]

Ignoring scraping potentials, it makes it seem (but I have not verified) that you can infer rough geographies of the poster based on which datacenter/rack the tweet got routed to

(I wanted to use it to do some "was this really $politicalActorX?" stuff but havent yet)

Summarizing: Twitter bit packs [time, datacenter, rack, sequenceNumber] in each 64 tweet (Snowflake) ids
