enhancement Timeline option - ability to change language

[Martyn Houghton]

Like the option to change the visibility of time line update when it has been set incorrectly, there should also be the option change the language of a timeline entry if it has not been set properly, so that the translate option can be triggered.

Hi @Martyn Houghton

Currently, the language for each post/comment on a timeline is set to the default language of the person who posted which can lead to the incorrect language being set if the user doesn't have this set correctly or speaks multiple languages.  We a planning to add a language detection feature which will automatically detect the language which the user is using when they post to reduce the likelihood of this occurring, I don't have a timescale for when this will be made available at the moment but we let you know when we release it.

Thanks

@TrevorHarris

Thanks for the response. Would the scope of the language detection option include the Shared Mailbox as well?

The language detection will only be available on posts and comments on activitystreams (timelines, workspaces etc) at first but it could be extended to other areas in the future which could make use of the same ability, however the initial change will not include this

Thanks

Hi @Martyn Houghton

This feature is still under development as part of a large change we are making to the activity-streams in general, I don't have a release date for this atm but it should be within the next couple of months

sorry for the delay

Thanks
